Three groups of 15 to 17 adult fallow does with some additional yearling does in 2 of the groups were treated to synchronize oestrous cycles, and mated. All does were scanned by ultrasound at 4 weeks of gestation and at weekly intervals from week 7 to week 14 of gestation. Growth rates of 13 foetal and uterine characters, which have been used for ageing foetuses of red deer, were similar for adult and yearling does and among the 3 groups. Transrectal ultrasound scanning was a reliable and accurate means of detecting pregnancy and of ageing foetuses of fallow deer during weeks 7 to 17 of pregnancy.

Ada beberapa alasan ternak sapi harus ditingkatkan terus populasi dan produktifitasnya. Pertama, ternak sapi merupakan sumber pendapatan yang memberikan kontribusi cukup signifikan dalam struktur pendapatan petani peternak. kedua, sapi Bali adalah ternak yang sudah beradaptasi dengan sangat baik selama ratusan tahun di Nusa Tenggara Barat. Ketiga, pemasarannya mudah terbukti permintaan daging sapi selalu lebih tinggi dari ketersediannya. Terakhir, kualitas genetik sapi Bali ditengarai cendrung menurun dari waktu ke waktu akibat seleksi negatip. oleh karena itu, untuk meningkatkan produktifitas dan peran sapi dalam menyediakan daging dan pendapatan peternak, kualitas genetik sapi Bali harus selalu ditingkatkan. Salah satu caranya adalah melalui seleksi pejantan, sehingga kualitas genetic dan produktifitas anak sapi yang lahir dari bibit sapi jantan terseleksi akan meningkat dan pada akhirnya pendapatan peternak juga akan meningkat. Berdasarkan alasan seperti diuraikan diatas, pengabdian kepada masyarakat dengan topik “Sosialisasi Tata Cara Seleksi Calon Pejantan Sapi Bali di desa Beririjarak kecamatan Wanasabe kabupaten Lombok Timur” telah dilaksanakan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan peternak sapi di desa Beririjarak mengenai tata cara seleksi pejantan sapi Bali yang ungul. Hasil pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini menunjukkan bahwa, 100% peserta menyatakan bahwa materi penyuluhan sanngat bermanfaat dan akan diterapkan ketika mereka menseleksi sapi Bali jantan sebagai pejantan. Disarankan supaya materi penyuluhan ini juga perlu disosialisasikan kepada peternak atau kelompok sapi di kecamatan lain atau di Nusa Tenggara Barat pada umumnya.

The aim of the study was to evaluate Bali cattle pre-weaning calf death in Central Lombok. Sick calves were examined their condition, followed by physiology examination. Then feces and blood samples were collected and examined for internal parasites and hematology. The results showed that the newborn calf was 57,2% (61), while calves sick was 16.5% (101) consisted of 7,2% (57) death calves and 9,3% still alive. Calves examination showed that 21, 05 % (12) was under weak conditions, 38.5% (22) with high temperature, 73, 5% (42) calves were found diarrhea. This diarrhea calves consisted of 50,8% (29) diarrhea, 3, 5% (2) diarrhea with blood stain, and 19, 2% (11) diarrhea with high temperature. The results of coproscopy showed that 14.03% (8) calves diarrhea were infected with parasites, such as protozoa (Eimeria sp), liver fluke (Fasciola sp) and gastro intestine worm (Trichuris sp, Trichostrongilus sp, and Bunostonum sp). Following evaluation of hematocrit, it was found that 33.3% (19) calves higher while 3.50% (2) lower. Following examination of Red Blood Cell, it was found that 98.2% (56) calves showed anemia hypochromic, 28.07% (16) showed anemia microcytic, 15,7% (9) macrocytic anemia, 5.2% (3) anemia hypochromic, 3.5% (2 calves) showed erythropenia. Leucocytes examinations showed that 35.08% (20 calves) showed by lymphocytosis, 7.01% (4 calves) leucocytosis, 1.75% (1 calf) leucopenia and 1.75% (1 calf) lymphocytopenia. It can be concluded that from the ill calves in the middle of the rainy season showed diarrhea with protozoa, liver fluke, and worms infestations. Hematology examination the sick calves indicated that there were anemia, lymphocytosis, dehydration, low content of blood corpuscular. Finally, the sick calves may be infected with parasites, protozoa's, bacteria's and viruses.

Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the proteome profile of the 150 kDa protein isolated from the subordinate follicle of Bali cattle (Bos sondaicus/javanicus). Some researchers have revealed several factors in the follicular subordinate with a 150 kDa protein substance, which play important roles in the bovine ovulation. Materials and methods:In the present study, subordinate follicles (~ 5 mm in diameter) were collected from 10 female Bali cattle from slaughterhouses in Taliwang, Sumbawa of West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. The follicular liquid was pooled; fractionated using SDSPAGE 10%, the 150 kDa band was sliced and then analyzed using MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS. Results: Mascot search results significantly revealed the presence of four species of proteins/peptides. Of the four peptides, two were predominant i.e. complement C3 and anti-testosterone antibody, which both were 100% identical to complement C3 and anti-testosterone antibody of Bos Taurus cattle. Conclusion: Complement C3 and anti-testosterone antibody are present in the follicle fluid of Bos sondaicus/javanicus cows. These findings are novel in Bali cattle follicles. KEYWORDS
