Restriction Feed and Refeeding Evaluation for Consumption, Feed Cost, Income Over Feed Cost, Percentage of Carcass and Meat Quality of Kacang Goat

This study aims to determine the effect of restriction feed and refeeding for consumption, feed cost, income over feed cost, percentage of carcass and meat quality of Kacang goat. A total of nine male Kacang goats average age of 12 months with an average weight of 14.96 kg fed consisting of hay forage peanut (rendeng) and concentrate. Goats were divided into three treatment groups. Three goats control (P0) fed based on the needs of dry matter (DM) 3.5% of body weight, three goats feed restriction treatment 50% (P1) and three goats feed restriction treatment 60% (P2) of the requirement by BK for 30 day. The variables measured were intake of dry matter (DM), intake of organic matter (BO), feed cost, the percentage of carcass and meat quality. Data were analyzed by the method of completely randomized design (CRD) pattern unidirectional followed by least significant different (LSD). The result showed that restriction feed and refeeding significant effect on intake of dry matter (DM), intake of organic matter (BO), but did not affect feed cost, percentage of carcass and meat quality. It is concluded that with the effect of restriction feed and refeeding for consumption can produce a similar growth of male Kacang goats

Exterior Characteristics of Jabres Cattle at Brebes Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia

This study was conducted to observe the exterior characteristics of Jawa Brebes (Jabres) cattle at Brebes Regency, Central Java Province. The study was conducted at Bantar Kawung and Ketanggungan Districts, Brebes Regency. One hundred and eighty eight heads used in this study. The age of animal was ranged from calf up to 60 months. The exterior characteristics of cattle were directly observed in the farm. One hundred farmers were also involved in this study to investigate their characteristics preferences. The data collected was analyzed as quantitative description. The most body color of males were whitis brown (54.83%) and that of females were brown (47.36%). The most bottom color of males and females were white (61.53% and 42.10%). the most forehead color of males and females were plain brown without any white mark (88.58% and 86.49%). The most tail tips color of males and females were black (100.00% and 93.25%). Most of catlle had black line color on the back (66.00% of males and 65.49% of females). The most face profile of males and females were flat (60.00% and 69.62%). All of cattle were having black lips, small and erect sideways ears, small dewlap and hump, and straight back. The horn of males was usually shorter than that of females

Reproductive Performance of Jabres Cow at Brebes, Central Java Province, Indonesia

This study was conducted to observe the reproductive performance of Jabres cow at Brebes Regency, Central Java Province. One hundred and seventy four heads of cows were used in this study. Animals were raised by farmers as usual. Feed consumption was observed for 6 days. Birth weight was weighed soon after calves were born. Weaning age, postpartum estrus, postpartum mating, service per conception, gestation period, and calving interval were investigated based on the farmers’ recording. The data collected was analyzed quantitative description. Dry matter (DM), crude protein, and total digestible nutrient intake of cow were 2.32% BW, 11.41% DM, and 60% DM, respectively. Birth weight of Jabres calf was 18.14 kg ± 1.48 kg. Weaning age, postpartum estrus, postpartum mating, service per conception, gestation period, and calving interval of Jabres cow were 191.72 ± 35.30 days, 83.21 ± 19.05 days, 100.22 ± 22.99 days, 1.71 ± 0.80 days, 280.35 ± 17.52 days, and 383.96 ± 21.11 days, respectively. It is concluded that reproductive performance of Jabres cow is quite good. The calving interval can be improved by shortening PPM and decreasing S/C values
