Economic development is the main driving force in regional development and plays significant role in the enhancement of community welfare. Agricultural sector is one of the dominant sectors in the economic structure of Pasirjambu District, Bandung Regency so that it plays significant role in regional development. There are plenty of community dairy farm activities in Pasirjambu District. Unfortunately, they have not been able to contribute maximally to the welfare of the farmer, even though farming sub-sectdor is a sector that is quite dominant in Pasirjambu District based on location quotient (LQ) analysis. Therefore, an assessment is needed on the carrying capacity of various factors influencing the development of dairy farm in Pasirjambu District. The purpose of this research is to assess the carrying capacity for dairy fam development in Pasirjambu District, whereas the objective of this research is to assess the carrying capacity of natural resources, human resources, institution and infrastructure supporting farming production for the development of dairy farm. The research method used in this research is descriptive with quantitative research approach that is obtained through analysis of questionnaire data. <br /> <br /> <br /> The analysis shows that the result of carrying capacity for dairy farm development from various variables varies, i.e. the availability of land resources for planting the forage for animal feed in actual condition is not supportive, but in the potential condition it is very supportive in the development of dairy farm, whereas the availability of land resource for caging is supportive in actual condition and potential condition. The availability of water in actual condition is not supportive; whereas in the potential condition, it is supportive in the development of dairy farm. Quantitatively, the carrying capacity of breeder resources is supportive but qualitatively, it is not supportive. Furthermore, the institutional resource such as cattle group, cooperative, and government to facilitate dairy farm is considered as supportive but other institutions such as bank and private institution are not supportive based on the level of satisfaction perception of the breeders. The result of farming production supporting infrastructure at the Pasirjambu District varies, i.e. road infrastructure condition and Animal Health Center are considered as supportive, but the animal market infrastructure is considered as not supportive for the development of dairy farm at the Pasirjambu District due to its absence in the region. <br /> <br /> The natural resources carrying capacity in potential condition is very supportive for the development of dairy farm. This shows limited access of the breeder to natural resources so that various steps are needed to overcome various problems that emerge as the result of the condition. The enhancement of breeder human resources should be done through various types of technical assistance, training and counseling by the government, cooperative, and other stake holders. The nsynergy between institutions should be enhanced and there should be an effort to enhance the quality and quantity of farming supporting production infrastructure in the development of dairy farm, the enhancement of breeder welfare, and the development of Pasirjambu District region. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Keywords: carrying capacity, regional development, dairy farm <br />
