This study aims to evaluate feed from phyllodes and the pod of acacia plants ( Acacia mangium ) as an eco-friendly feed source for livestock by in-vitro gas test. It was conducted using total gas production, gas production from soluble and insoluble but fermentable fraction, the reaction rate of gas formation, and the maximum gas production that can be formed during the fermentation process. The type of plant used was Acacia mangium which is taken from the pod and phyllode. In this study, P0 was used as standard, P1 as phyllode of Acacia mangium , and P2 as the pod of Acacia mangium with 48 hours incubation. The in-vitro gas test method was used to determine the gas production from the pod and phyllode of the acacia plant. The results showed that the gas production in the phyllode and pod of acacia plants decreased (P<0.001), which was mostly from the pod of the acacia plant. Therefore, it is concluded that the phyllode and pod of the acacia plant have a significant effect on the decrease in gas production. This showed that acacia plants have the potential to be used as animal feed to reduce rumen gas production.
