Penelitian bertujuan mengevaluasi calon pejantan unggul (CPU) berdasarkan produksi susu anak betinanya (Daugther Cow/DC) dari sapi Friesian Holstein (FH) hasil uji zuriat. Penelitian dilaksanakan bulan Februari sampai April 2022 di Balai Besar Pembibitan Ternak Unggul dan Hijauan Pakan Ternak (BBPTU HPT) Baturraden, Jawa Tengah. Materi penelitian adalah 636 ekor DC uji zuriat tahun 2017 – 2020 dari enam CPU. Metode penelitian adalah studi kasus dengan mengambil data catatan kinerja produksi DC uji zuriat periode tahun 2017 – 2020 pada laktasi pertama. Analisis data yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif. Variabel yang diamati adalah: angka kebuntingan, tingkat kelahiran, rasio jenis kelamin, produksi susu, dan lama laktasi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan angka kebuntingan 64,94 %, angka kelahiran dari kebuntingan 77,48 %, dan rasio jenis kelamin (sex ratio) anakan DC jantan dan betina 55,63 % dan 44,38 %. Rataan produksi susu hasil penelitian adalah 13,71±3,92 kg/ekor/hari dengan kisaran 5255,26±1471,06 kg/laktasi. Rataan lama laktasi pada laktasi pertama adalah 249,94±82,80 hari dengan lama interval laktasi 167,14 – 332,74 hari. Performa produksi DC dari semua CPU memiliki produktivitas yang baik. Produksi susu dan lama laktasi sesuai dengan rataan standar sapi FH di Indonesia, sehingga CPU layak sebagai pejantan

Study on the Correlation between Body Measurement and Feed Intake on the Growth Performance of Heifer and Calf at Different Topographical Locations

Environmental conditions pose direct and indirect effects on animal growth. Animal growth itself can be defined in many ways, and one of the parameters is body growth. This study was conducted to determine the dimensions of body measurements such as shoulder height (SH), body length (BL), chest width (CW), and heart girth (HG) of calves and heifer located in high land, middle land, and low land. The number of calves and heifer used in this study was 121 and 131, respectively. Calipster and rondo ribbon were used to measure the body measurements while the Gompertz model was used to predict the growth parameters of mature age. The results indicated that the maturity age of cattle raised in the high land, middle land, and low land were 347.63 - 371.52 days, 377.58 days, and 465.69 days, respectively. The growth rate for all body measurements (SH, BL, CW, HG) was higher in the high land compared to the middle land and low land. The sequences of growth development obtained from the Gompertz analysis was SH, CW, HG, and BL. Heifer reaching earlier puberty or mature age will have better body size

Berdasarkan rataan tersebut pejantan yang paling unggul adalah Folegan disusul dengan Aris, Flate, dan yang terakhir adalah Flanggo. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini bahwa kualitas dan produksi semen dari keempat calon pejantan unggul adalah normal dan layak dijadikan sebagai pejantan

Pengaruh Ketinggian Tempat Terhadap Respon Termoregulasi Kambing Peranakan Etawah (PE): Effect of Altitude on Thermoregulatory Response of Etawah Grade Goat

Etawah grade does were kept in different environment. Current research was conducted to compare the thermoregulatory response of Etawah grade goat which were kept at 200, 400 and 600 m asl. Measured environmental factors were temperature (Ta), relative humidity (Rh), and air velocity (Va) were measured for 12 hours from 06.00 am to 06.00 pm. Thermoregulatory response included rectal temperature (Tr), respiration rate (Rr) and heart rate (Hr) were measured every day at 6 am, 12 am and 6 pm. Data obtained were analyzed statistically using independent two-sample T-Test and regression analysis. The results showed different altitude 200, 400 and 600 m asl significantly affected (P<0.05) ambient temperature, which were average 30,16±2,88; 27,73±2,45 and 26,63±2,91; respectively. Otherwise, different altitude did not affect humidity and air velocity. Altitude significantly affected (P<0.05) rectal temperature and heart rate, but did not affect respiration rate. Etawah grade goat were comfortable to kept in 400 m asl

PERBANDINGAN SUHU LINGKUNGAN DAN PRODUKTIVITAS TERNAK SAPI PERAH MELALUI PENDEKATAAN STOCHASTIC FRONTIER (Study Kasus di Peternakan Rakyat KUTT Suka Makmur): Comparison Of Environment Temperature and Dairy Cattle Productivity Approach a Stochastic Frontier (Case Studyin Small Holder Dairy Farms KUTT Suka Makmur)

This study observed environmental temperature and rearing management of dairy cattlein KUTT Suka Makmur. This research was aimed to evaluate comparison of environment temperature, productivity, and the technic inefficiency dairy cattle in lowland and highland. Datacollected from 40 respondents in lowland and 40 respondents in highland regions. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics and stochastic frontier production. The results showed that temperatures in the lolands were higher than that of highland, at the range of 24-27 oC, socattle experiencing heat stress, the impact was cattle consumedless feed. In contrast, the highlands temperature relatively low, at range of22-24 oC and produce more milk than that of lowland. The significant variabel of stochastic frontier was herd size about -0.2655 (p<0.10) and -0.2180 (p<0.02) in lowland and highland respectively. Increasing the number of cattle in small holder farms was not efficiencs, due to the increasing in a number of forages and consentrat for the cattle

Growth patterns of Holstein Friesian Dairy Cow (FH) from Birth to First Child based on Mathematical Analysis of the Gompertz Model

This aims of this study was to estimate the bodyweight of FH dairy cows from birth to first child by knowing growth patterns and creating a standard curve for dairy cattle growth at BBPTU-HPT Baturraden dairy cow in Baturraden district, Banyumas Regency, Purwokerto, Central Java. Data obtained in the form of secondary data from births in 2005-2016 were 1437 tails and primary data were 353 tails. Data were analyzed using SAS 9.4 program with NLIN procedures (Non-Linear) using Gompertz models. The results show that the Gompertz models is easy in the calculation process with the data deviations that are close to the field of data and the models have a high degree of accuracy with the coefficient of determination (R2 ) 99.83%. The conclusion of this study is that the resulting curve of the Gompertz model can be used as a standard growth curve of Friesian Holstein dairy cattle in Indonesia from birth to first calf.

PERBANDINGAN SUHU LINGKUNGAN DAN PENGARUH PAKAN TERHADAP PRODUKTIVITAS SAPI PERAH DI DAERAH DENGAN KETINGGIAN BERBEDA

This study was done to compare the environmental temperature and the effect of feed  management on dairy cattle productivity in KUTT Suka Makmur Grati Pasuruan. Primary data were collected by questionare based interview to the farmers at different height areas those were 40 farmers in lowland area and 40 farmers in highland area. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and quant itative methods. The results showed that temperatures in the lowlands were higher at around 24oC - 27oC, so cattle experiencing heat stress and the impact  was cattle consumed less feed, while the availability of  water was limited. In contrast, the highlands temperature was relatively low, about 22oC - 24oC. The cattle in highland was fed with elephant grass with a good nutrient content, so the cattle was able to produced well.  Keywords: Dairy Cattle, Environment, Feed Effect, Productivity, Temperatur

The Correlation of Microclimate on Milk Productivity and Lactation Percentage of Friesian Holstein Dairy Cattle in Balai Pengembangan Ternak Sapi Perah Hijauan Pakan Ternak (BPTSP HPT) Cikole

External and internal factors can affect the body of livestock. External factors consist of climate, offering feed, and maintenance management. Internal factors include the biological aspects of lactating dairy. This research was conducted to see the microclimate relationship between milk production and the proportion of lactation. This study aims to identify and evaluate Friesian Holstein dairy cattle productivity based on the microclimate in BPTSP HPT Cikole. This study used the survey method to obtain secondary data. The regression and correlation test was used to analyze data. Results showed 111 Holstein dairy cattle productivity based on the amount of milk, and lactation proportion fluctuated from 2017 to 2019. The regression results and the impact of microclimate in general on milk production had no significant effect. It was proven that BPTSP HPT Cikole was successful in overcoming the effects of microclimate changes. In conclusion, that temperature, humidity, precipitation, and THI do not affect the production of Friesian Holstein cow's milk at BPTSP HPT Cikole. Based on the regression analysis results, precipitation significantly affects the proportion of lactation with an R2 value of 78.08%
