Abstract
West Nusa Tenggara or Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) Province is one of the centres of beef cattle production in Indonesia. There has few studies that concern with population trends and improvement opportunities. This research aimed at determining the Gross and Net increase of beef cattle population during 5 years of period (2014-2018) in NTB and its development prospects. The data was collected through desk study, then analysed descriptively using a qualitative approach to provide an overview of the cattle population in NTB and its development opportunities. The results showed that from 2014 to 2018, the increase in Gross and Net population growth was in line with the National Beef Self-Sufficiency Program. The development opportunities are heading to Sumbawa Island considering the land potential, the utilization of the remaining agricultural crops, and the use of Lamtoro tree legume as the source of protein feed.
