This research was conducted to investigate the effect of use a starter culture of EM-4 on the quality of beef cattle feces bioculture. This research was performed in Meat, Draught, and Companion Animals Laboratory and Technology of Animal By-product and Environment Laboratory. Parameters was used biocultural without addition of bioactivator (P0), the addition of EM-4 (P1) and the addition of starter culture results EM-4 (P2). Parameters observed were physical parameters, chemical, microbiological and biological. the physical parameters of biocultural consist of colour, smell, pH and turbidity. the chemical parameters of biocultural consist of nitrogen content, C-Organic, C / N ratio, phosphorus and potassium. Biological parameters consist of height of plant, leaf number and root length spinach. Number colonies microbes of microbiological parameters contained in biocultural with TPC (Total Plate Count) method. The results showed a starter culture of EM-4 in beef cattle feces biocultural give effect on levels of C-organic, organic material, phosphorus and potassium. TPC (Total Plate Count) biocultural each treatment showed no significant differences. Key words: Feces of beef cattle , Bioculture, Culture of EM-4, Chemical quality
