The problem in conducting the experiment in rice fields that there was no data information of the plant types that were used as forage for ruminant livestock. This study aims to identify forages grown in the rice fields of Pandawai District, East Sumba Regency. The research used survey methods, direct observation, and direct measurements in the field. Forage identify done by using the species identification sheet by matching the plants and compared to PlanNet apps. The results showed that the paddy field area of Pandawai District, East Sumba Regency had 10 grass species were Leersia hexandra, Cyperus sphalelatus, Leptochioa filiformis, Imperata cylindrica, Echinochios colona, Eragrotis unioloides, Cyperus Iria L., Setaria palide, Panicum repens, and Eragrotis spp. 7 leguminous species were Pueraria phaseoloides, Siratro, Sesbania bispinosa, Chamaecrista mimosoides (L)., Nila, Desmodium desv., and Desmodium sp. 5 weed species were Ludwigia otctovalvis, Stylosanthes, Phyliantus minuri, Mikania micranta and Euphorbia hirta.
