Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine the productivity aspects (production and reproduction) of Bali cattle based on agroecosystems that include pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest on Timor Island. Therefore, from January-December 2018, research on the performance of Bali cattle production-based agroecosystem was conducted. The research location was chosen purposively representing agroecosystems of pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest. The number of respondents was 5-10% of the number of cattle farmers in each agroecosystem that had >10 Bali cattle. The respondents were interviewed using a questionnaire prepared. Field observations were also conducted to measure the performance of Bali cattle production. The data analysis used the Importance-Performance Analysis method which was processed through a computerized SPSS program and the results were explained descriptively. The results of this study indicated that the level of importance and performance of Bali cattle in the pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest agroecosystems showed the same conditions where the performance (productivity) of Bali cattle in each agroecosystem was good for such attributes as body weight, calf crop, and conception rate. Meanwhile, the attributes that need to be considered and improved are the quality and quantity of SKT, oestrus age, first coitus age, oestrus cycle, oestrus duration, service per conception, length of calf pregnancy, age of first calving, days open, calving interval and rate of increase population. Thus the productivity of Bali cattle scattered in pasture, agriculture, plantation and forest agro-ecosystems in general is still low.
