To get the actual area for the development of L.leucocephala, an obtained existing map of the potential land suitability has overlaid with land cover maps and
land use maps in which a predetermined constraint factors that can not be violated. Here are the results of overlay of maps of potential land suitability with constraint
factors.

The existence of the animal market as the driving factor may also be one of the deciding criteria in decision-making to the development process of cultivation of
L. leucocephala. Coordinates of each point made animal market is a ring buffer which

4.3 Increasing Capacity Population of Ruminant Cattle ICPRC
The important aspect of livestock development planning is based on the potential of farm zoning and adequate land carrying capacity for livestock enterprises.
Resource potential of livestock and livestock in the form of the potential diversity of livestock species, the potential of human resources farmers and the potential of
livestock area carrying capacity of land and land suitability should be the initial reference for planning future development. By considering some of the elements
associated with the zoning plan, then the desired goals can be achieved by the Kupang District to devise strategies in accordance with regional characteristics.
Rollinson and Nell 1974 method is a comparative method which limits themselves only to the sources listed forage area or size in the statistical report. The
potential supply of forage from the source is converted to the potential of natural grasslands after a few empirical studies. In addition to forage grasses, forage taken
into account the potential for agricultural output with the rest of the rational utilization coefficient.
ICPRC processed data is the data statistic census results of 2009 combined with land cover maps of each district. ICPRC value show the number of ruminants
that can be added to each location, the negative sign indicates number of livestock that at this sub-district has exceeded the carrying capacity so that policies need to be
taken to make improvements to the producer of forage. The following are the results of calculations ICPRC for each sub-district in Kupang District.
Land capability value in Kupang District for the provision of feed grass straw for livestock naturally without any effort to plant fodder in particular can be
seen in Table RCC and ICPRC. With the planting efforts in particular animal forage, such as L leucocephala is expected to increase ICPRC values more than the 481,714
AU.

Analysis Location Quotation LQ is used to determine whether an area is categorized as a base livestock area or non-base. If the numbers of Location
Quotation more than 1 indicates that the location is a livestock base area, whereas if less than one the area has not become the basis of livestock.

Base on LQ analysis of at 10 areas in Kupang District showed that most areas is the livestock base area, except in Sub-District Sulamu, Fatuleu, South Amfoang,
and Southwest Amfoang are not be the base area, although the difference is only 0.1 compared to other regions. In both areas with values below 1 may be an area for local
food advocates who have included the area surrounding the base; local government policy to increase the number of cattle population in the two areas will greatly assist
in improving the status of the livestock base.
4.4 Model for Prediction of Feed Security
At a time when productivity is increases and the need of L.leucocephala for cattle as fodder been able to exceed the amount provided by the existing land, the
expansion of land that is not L.leucocephala to become L.leucocephala field will be happen, of course with considering several policies that already exist like a constraint
regions.
