The research was conducted to observe morphometric characteristics of Limousin-Bali crossbred cows in Lombok Tengah Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Data were collected using purposive sampling technique with cattle measured including Bali cattle and Limousin-Bali crossbred. The material used 60 head cows which consisted of 30 head of Limousin-Bali crossbred (Limbal) cows and 30 head of Bali cows. The cows were kept in loose pens with a litter base. The feed was provided forages as well as drinking water which is freely given. The data was taken in the form of body length, withers height, chest girth, chest deep, chest width, hip height, hip width, head length, head width, and ear length. The data obtained were analyzed by an Independent sample t-test. The Limbal and Bali cows have body length, withers height, chest girth, chest deep, chest width, hip height, hip width, head length, and head width were 134.13±1.24 and 111.67±1.17 cm; 124.27±0.77 and 109.47±0.95 cm; 174.50±1.83 and 152.47±1.94 cm; 66.83±0.70 and 60.00±0.69 cm; 42.47±0.78 and 35.53±0.65 cm; 122.00±0.81 and 106.87±0.87 cm; 41.67±0.40 and 32.80±0.60 cm; 42.77±0.68 and 36.03±0.43 cm; 22.87±0.43 and 19.53±0.41 cm, respectively. All body measurements of Limbal cows were higher (P<0.05) than that of Bali cows. In conclusion, the morphometric characteristics of Limousin-Bali crossbred cows are higher than Bali cows.

Batur sheep is one of Indonesian’s local sheep species with the original geographical distribution in the Batur District and surrounding areas. This study was conducted to determine the suitability of the Batur sheep that were kept by smallholder farmers. The study was conducted in Batur Village, Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia in February 2020 by identifying the qualitative traits of Batur sheeps (64 males and 129 females) compared to other sheep breeds. Qualitative data were then transformed into dummy data and given scores in each category. Data were analyzed descriptively using Chi-square analysis and Independent Sample T-Test. The Chi-square analysis findings determined (P<0.05) the qualitative characteristics, which included the face profile, the face wool coat density, and the suitability score of the male and female of the Batur sheep breed. The total of 98.6% male and 74.4% female sheep had suitable qualitative characteristics to the Batur sheep breed with suitability scores of 91.72 and 81.90, respectively. In conclusion, the male and female Batur sheep on Batur Village, Banjarnegara Regency, Indonesia, was still suitable to Batur sheep breed based on the assessment of the body’s phenotypic assessment.
