HUBUNGAN ANTARA BOBOT BADAN INDUK DAN BOBOT LAHIR PEDET SAPI BRAHMAN CROSS PADA JENIS KELAMIN YANG BERBEDA
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the
study was to determine the correlation between cow weight and birth weight of
Brahman Cross calves with different sex. The materials of the study were one hundred
Brahman Cross cows which had been purposively selected. The variables of the
study were cow body weight, calves birth weight, and sex. Data were analyzed
using Pearson Correlation test (Product-Moment), Linear Regression and t Test.
The study found that the birth weight diferred significantly (P <0.05) among
male and female calves at the first and third parities. Also, there was
significant correlation (P <0.05) between cow body weight and calves birth
weight at the first parity. However, this cow body weight only influenced
22-25% on birth weight so that the study suggests to considering other factors
such as environment and animal feed.
Keywords: body weight, birth
