The devotion aimed to optimize the use of feed in form of complete forage (CF) through Direct-Fed Microbials (DFM) supplementation, providing knowledge to the community, especially breeders  regarding good feed processing management, as well as providing the understanding to the community at Koperasi Produksi Ternak Maju Sejahtera to improve the potential quality of agricultural waste as feed in beef cattle fattening business. The activity method is carried out in a monologue, practice and evaluation by using descriptive questionnaires. The activity begins  with a presentation of material on ration formulation by utilizing the potential of local feed ingredients, the benefits of DFM, type of DFM microorganisms, the dosage of adding DFM and the way to combine DFM in feed. The community service results showed that breeders are very enthusiastic for the outreach of material provided. This also proven by the active role of participants, especially breeders, inthe question and answer session regarding how to use DFM in feed to improve livestock performance.
