Seleksi Calon Induk Berdasarkan Nilai Pemuliaan Bobot Sapih Kambing Peranakan Etawah di Kecamatan Metro Selatan, Kota Metro
ABSTRACT: Breeding Value (BV)
is an evaluation of the quality of animal genetics for a certain character
which is given relatively based on it’s position in population. This study
aimed to determine the heritability and repitability value of weaning weight of
Etawah Crossbred Goat, to determine the weaning weight and BV of each
individual female goat, and to determine the individual females which had the
highest BV of weaning weight. This study used the survey method to obtain the
subject matter, which comprised 40 female parents which had recording of age
when littering, pedigree of male, and goatling of female parent samples which
had recording of birth weight, type of birth, type of maintenance, and weaning
weight of the first and second birth.
The result of this study showed that : the average of weaning weight
corrected was 20,980±1,080 kg; the heritability value of weaning weight was
0,135±0,010; the repitability value of
weaning weight was 0,389; the average of BV of weaning weight was
20,981±0,214. Based on the result of this study, it was known that 24 (60%) of
40 Etawah Crossbred Goat female parents had higher BV over the average, and 5
female parents were given priority with the highest BV of weaning weight, those
were the goat female parents with code C1 with BV of 21,369; H1 of 21,229; F2
of 21,267; G3 of 21,261; E2 of 21,230.
