In addition, a literature review was conducted using Law Number 6 of 2014 concerning Villages. Books and journals related to community livestock management and local-scale village authority. The data were analyzed qualitatively. The results of the study indicate that the village government has the authority to regulate the administration of governmental affairs and the interests of the local community. In line with Law Number 6 of 2014, villages possess local-scale authority, enabling them to independently manage village affairs, including resolving issues related to community livestock management. This can be achieved through the formulation of a village regulation (Peraturan Desa/PERDES) concerning community livestock management in Sungai Ara Village, Indragiri Hilir Regency. The obstacles to community livestock management include insufficient community between the Sungai Ara Village Government and livestock owners, as well as the absence of a village regulation governing community livestock management. To address these obstacles, effors should be made to strengthen communication between the village government and livestock owner and to enact a village regulation on community livestock management in Sungai Ara Village, Indragiri Hilir Regency.
