Feed security is the ability of a system or region to ensure the availability, accessibility, and sustainability of sufficient feed for livestock or poultry to meet their feed nutritional needs and productivity in the long term. This research aims to analyze the advantages of livestock sub-sector commodities in the districts/cities of the Tomini Bay area, the impact of these commodity advantages on the per capita income of the community, and to design strategies for developing feed security in the region using SWOT analysis. This research is a quantitative study. The data sources in this research are secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Ministry of Agriculture, as well as primary data obtained through observations, interviews, and questionnaires. The secondary data sample consists of 85 data points, namely 17 districts/cities and data from 5 years, while the primary data includes 85 individuals consisting of farmers and related stakeholders. The data analysis techniques used are Localization Index (LI) analysis, Specialization Index (SI), Location Quotient (LQ), Multiple Regression of Panel Data, and SWOT Analysis. The results of this study indicate that (1) livestock tends to be widespread and none are considered special, while the analysis shows that beef cattle serve as the basis in an average of 11 districts/cities, horses in an average of 4 districts/cities, goats in an average of 10 districts/cities, and pigs in an average of 7 districts/cities. For poultry, only local chickens fall into the special and widespread category, while the others are not special and widespread, with local chickens excelling in 13 districts/cities, layer chickens excelling in 7 districts/cities, broiler chickens excelling in 5 districts/cities, and ducks excelling in 6 districts/cities (2) Beef cattle, local chickens, broiler chickens, and ducks have a positive and significant impact on per capita income in the districts/cities of the Tomini Bay area, or can increase per capita income, while goats, pigs, and layer chickens have a positive but insignificant impact on per capita income, or are in the sufficient category, whereas horses have a negative and insignificant impact, meaning that horses tend to reduce income due to high maintenance costs (3) The strategy for developing feed security areas in the districts/cities of the Tomini Bay region is positioned in quadrant 3, which is the Turn Around strategy. This is implemented through strategic initiatives, including optimizing natural resources and agricultural waste for feed, improving human resource capabilities through training in modern feed production technology and management, reinforcing government support in infrastructure, governance, and agribusiness development for farming and livestock enterprises, and fostering collaboration among districts and cities in the Tomini Bay region to strengthen feed security. © 2025 by the authors.
