KOMPARASI KARAKTER MORFOLOGI SAPI MADURA SONOK DAN MADURA PEDAGING
ABSTRACT: Madura cattle was
selected into three groups by Madura people, there are karapan, sonok, and beef
cattle. This selection based on morphological characters and pedigree. The
differences of morphological characters in Sonok and beef cattle have not been
reported. This research aimed to analyze morphological characters of both
types, such as the differences in behaviors. This research was conducted from
January-April 2016 at Sumenep and Pamekasan region, Madura Island. Preliminary
was conducted with interviews, observation, and literature studies to obtain
some characters which will be observed. Eighteen characters were observed in
forty-two sonok cattle and fifty beef cattle. Qualitative data was analyzed by
frequency analysis and use as input for principal component analysis (PCA) in
Minitab 16 Statistical Software. The result shows that all of the observed
cattle are divided into two groups. It indicates that sonok and beef cattle
have different color around the eye area, the existence of back line, horn
direction, and the existence of hump. However, further, observation is needed
to find a robust character which can distinguish sonok and beef cattle for
sonok selection.
