ANALISIS LITTER SIZE, BOBOT LAHIR DAN BOBOT SAPIH HASIL PERKAWINAN KAWIN ALAMI DAN INSEMINASI BUATAN KAMBING BOER DAN PERANAKAN ETAWAH (PE)
ABSTRACT: The quality of semen inseminated to the dam
might influence on the fer-tilization process and fetal growth during
pregnancy. The aim of this research was to analysis the litter size, birth and
weaning weight of Boer x PE goat crosses. Forty one parous and multiparous Peranakan
Etawah (PE) does were naturally mated with selected Boer buck (NM-group), while
the other 24 does were inseminated using artificial tech-nique using semen
collected from the same buck as NM-group
and called as AI-group. The result showed no significant differences in
litter size, birth weight and weaning weight between kids resulting from the
does mated naturally and artificially insemina-tion technique (1.8±0.64 vs.
1.79±0.58; 2.93±0.568 vs. 2.96±0.397 kg; and 11.06 ± 2.001 kg vs. 11.31 ± 1.54
kg, for litter size, birth weight and weaning weight, respec-tively. It was
concluded that mating technique in cross mating between PE does x Boer buck did
not influence on the litter size and early growth phase of kids.
