Karakterisasi Sumberdaya Kambing Lokal Khas Kejobong di Kabupaten Purbalingga Propinsi Jawa-Tengah
ABSTRACT: The purposes of this
study were to identify the quantitative morphogenitical characteristics
(external body dimensions) and qualitative characteristics (coat-colour), the
population size, its distribution and diversity of morphogenitical
characteristics, the population status in term of conservation, and to find out
the model of conservation. The target of this study were goat-husbandry of
local goat at Kejobong (13 villages) Local Government of Purbalingga, Central
Java, Purbalingga Regency. Livestock On-Farm Trials (LOFT) by simple random
sampling was implemented in this study. Sample sizes were determinate by Nomogram
Harry King, and were involved of 931 head of local goat of Kejobong.
Descriptive (qualitative and quantitative) analyses, variance analyses by
General Linear Model (GLM) procedure of SPSS, analysis of the population status
according to the Global Data Bank for Farm Animal Genetic Resources for
Domestic Animal Diversity of FAO were applied.
This study revealed that: (1) based on the size of external body
dimensions, the Kejobong local goat appears the termediate between Kacang and
Peranakan Etawah goats; (2) ) Based on the quantitative and qualitative
characteristics, the Kejobong local goat assumed as a crossbreed-goat resulted
from crossing between Kacang and Peranakan Etawah breeds. Dominant black and
total black coat colour were predominants 74.45 and 56.49 percent among their
population, respectively; (3) The Kejobong local goats were founded in all
regions (13 villages) with the total populations about 15.317 heads. There was
highly diversity in term of the characteristic of external body dimensions.
This finding force to conduct the in-breed selection in order to improve their
productivity; (4) Based on the Global Data Bank for Farm Animal Genetic
Resources, the population status of local goat at Kecamatan Subdistric (15.317
heads) and the total population of black coat (8.623 heads) were classified
into Not at Risk category. Board of Agriculture National Research Council
(1993) classify that the population status into rare if the size of population
ranges from 5.000 until 10.000 heads, it is imply that the total population of
black coat goat (8.623 heads) include in rare category; (5) The policy of
livestock conservation consists of the in-situ and ex-situ methods. In the
level of implementation of the sustainability conservation, there were some
aspects could be take into account such as agreement between government
(political will and coordination), community (group farmer, empowering capital
and marketing), and universities.
