Obstacles encountered in the implementation of the integration of beef cattle and crops are oil palm farmers lack knowledge about integration and limited their knowledge of livestock waste treatment technology and feed processing of oil palm crop waste, so that the application of the integration between beef cattle and crop oil palm is not optimal.Key words: Beef cattle integration, oil palm, District of west Pasaman

Summary
Hasil penelitian menjelaskan bahwa pemanfaatan dana bantuan untuk pengadaan sapi potong masih kurang (70%), berdasarkan petunjuk teknis integrasi sapi dan tanaman penggunaan dana untuk pengadaan sapi minimal 85 persen dan sisanya digunakan untuk fasilitas penunjang integrasi. Karakteristik Petani-ternak Karakteristik peternak sapi potong penerima bantuan terdiri dari, peternak berada pada usia produktif (100%), tingkat pendidikan masih rendah SD (56%), memiliki pengalaman beternak 5-10 tahun (81%), dan pekerjaan utama sebagai petaniternak (100%). Bibit dan perkembangan sapi yang dipelihara disajikan pada Tabel 3. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa jenis bibit yang dipelihara terdiri dari sapi Bali (100%), ternak dikawinkan melalui IB. Rendahnya perkembangan populasi disebabkan oleh rendahnya angka kelahiran (16,1%) dan angka kematian yang tinggi (3,6%), hal ini berkaitan dengan tingkat pendidikan peternak yang masih rendah, kualitas bibit sapi Bali yang masih kurang baik sebagai bibit. Alasan peternak memilih sapi Bali sebagai bibit sebetulnya sudah bagus akan tetapi tidak dibarengi dengan seleksi terhadap bibit sapi Bali yang digunakan, perkawinan sapi dilakukan secara IB keragaan reproduksi usaha ternak sapi potong disajikan pada Tabel 4
