Pengaruh Perbedaan Ketinggian Tempat Terhadap Capaian Hasil Inseminasi Buatan Pada Kambing Peranakan Ettawa
Abstrak: This study was
conducted to assess the reproductive performance and achievements of AI in goat
reared in lowland and highland areas. The study used a survey method in two
rural areas with the highest goat population. For lowland areas selected
Karangwuni village while highland areas was Sidomulyo village. The results
showed that for the lowland areas vs. the highland for reproductive performance
were as follows: age of first estrus (10 vs 9.3 bl), age of first mating (13.2
vs 12.5 bl), mating system 100% natural, post partum mating (4.2 vs 4.6
months), S / C (1.5 vs. 1.6). Understanding of farmers about the pregnant
female: anestrus post-AI (85.7 vs. 22.2%), stomach down (14.3 vs. 0.00), the
condition of the udder (0.00 vs 77.8%). Achievement results of AI (37.5 vs.
40%). Based on the results of the study concluded that the reproductive
performance of goat in lowland areas was generally very similar to the highland
areas, thus the development of large-scale goats in the lowland areas is
recommended.
