Abstract

The integration of beef cattle with rice farming represents an agricultural management approach that links crop and livestock activities through the integrated use of their by-products. This study aims to examine and synthesize the use of rice straw as cattle feed and cattle manure as organic fertilizer in supporting the integration of beef cattle and rice farming. A descriptive Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach was employed in this study. Relevant scientific articles were reviewed based on their relevance to rice straw, cattle manure, and crop-livestock integration. The results of the synthesis indicate that rice straw has potential as a feed resource for beef cattle; however, its utilization needs to be supported by processing methods, such as fermentation and ammoniation, to improve its quality and digestibility. Meanwhile, cattle manure can be processed into organic fertilizer and applied to rice fields to support crop production. The utilization of these two by-products establishes a reciprocal relationship between crop and livestock activities, which can improve the utilization of local resources, reduce agricultural and livestock waste, and support farming efficiency. Therefore, the implementation of an integrated beef cattle–rice farming system depends not only on the availability of rice straw and cattle manure but also on proper management, processing technology, and the ability to utilize both resources in an integrated manner
