The comparison between plant species consists of grass 57.77%, legumes 22.31%, and weeds 19.92%. The frequent observation of plant height is 19.08 cm, plant cover power is 66%. The findings of this study suggest that Axonopus compessus, Para grass, Bracharia decumben, Kyllinga brevifolia, and Centrosema molle are dominance of plant species could increase production, and in these case could used for development and conservation of availability to increase of animal feed supplies.
