This study aims to compare the productivity of Bali cattle bred on wet peatland and on dry peatland. This research was conducted in Pulang Pisau Regency, Central Kalimantan Province on September-November 2019. The research method used were a survey, observation and measurement of calf directly in the field. The samples of the area used were four districts using purposive sampling based on the largest population of Bali cattle on dry peatland and wet peatland. The total number of Bali calves were 186 tails. The observations consist of birth weight, weaning weight, and weight gain.The data were processed using the t-test (Independent t-test) with SPSS 2.2. The results obtained that productivity of male calf and female calf were higher productivitiy in dry peatland than wet peatland.
This study aims to evaluate male Bali cattle as potential livestock on peatlands. This research was conducted from October 2020 to December 2020. The method used in this study was a survey in the form of direct observation and measurement of livestock to obtain primary data. The sample of the area was taken by purposive sampling based on the largest Balinese cattle population in wet peatlands, with a total of 60 male Bali cattle. The variables observed included variables, body length (cm), shoulder height (cm), chest circumference (cm), body weight (kg), forage characteristics, and seedlings based on SNI-2017 for Bali cattle. The data obtained were analyzed descriptively by calculating the average value and standard deviation. The results show that the maintenance of male Bali cattle on wet peatlands can utilize natural greenery so that it can reduce production costs. The performance of male Bali cattle production can be seen as the criteria for selecting superior male seedlings in wet peatlands, where the percentage of entering class I was 33.4% of the total population being maintained. Wet peatlands can be used as a source of Balinese cattle to meet the need for productive beef cattle.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
