Total respondents were 60 households consisting of 30 cattle farmers with pineapple waste feed and 30 cattle farmers with elephant grass feed. The results of the study showed the revenue of cattle farmers with pineapple waste feed was greater than cattle farmers with elephant grass feed. Each of the profits obtained by cattle breeders with feed waste of pineapple and elephant grass was Rp 1,723,875 and Rp 1,241,751. The difference in profit on the analysis of T-Count obtained the T-calculate value of 0.88 smaller than T-table (2.02269).
