Abstract: The regency of Barru is one of the breeding centers of Bali cattle in the province of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. It is rich of horticultural by-products that are potential. The aim of the study is to investigate the efficacy of the horticultural by-product on the performance of Bali cattle, and the income over feed cost in the regency of Barru, Province of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study applied completely randomized design with four treatments and three replicates each. The treatments were T0 (100% Elephant Grass); T1 (70% Elephant Grass+30% By-product); T2 (40% Elephant Grass+60% By-product); T3 (100% By-product). The study showed that there was a significant effect on the content of crude protein, ash, fat, nitrogen free extract, NDF, ADF, cellulose, hemicellulose and undissolved ash, except for lignin. Crude Protein content ranged from 6.68 to 13.86 % DM-1. The treatment T3 was with the highest value. Crude fat and ash content ranged from 3.30 to 4.08 % DM-1, and 12.27 to 14.41 % DM-1, respectively, with the least amount on the treatment T2, that contained horticultural by-product. The value of nitrogen free extract tent to increase with the increase amount of the horticultural by-product in the mixture. The highly significant difference in the value of NDF, ADF and hemicellulose was noticeable in T3 to T2 and T1. There was a significant effect (P<0.05) on the daily weight gain with the highest one on T3, then followed by T2. The high value of income over feed cost was on T1 and T2, respectively.
