The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of environmental factors, namely seasonal changes and nutritional factors on the adaptive abilities shown by the metabolic response of Madura cattle. The research was conducted in Pademawu District, Pamekasan Regency, East Java from February to June 2022. The research material included 45 Madura cattle which included differences in sex and age. Metabolic response was analyzed descriptively. The results of the study obtained blood urea nitrogen (BUN) concentrations in male and female Madura cattle with different ages, including; 20.96 ± 6.79; 22.04 ± 5.12; 18.63 ± 1.94; 15.86 ± 2.72; 27.42 ± 14.5; 21.40 ± 8.2. Triglyceride concentrations in Madura cattle successively at different sexes and ages, namely; 11.00 ± 3.53; 21.60 ± 7.4; 11.00 ± 1.94; 12.00 ± 2.72; 9.20 ± 5.65; 11.00 ± 2.40. Glucose concentrations in male and female Madura sai with different ages, namely; 83.00 ± 16.90; 102.40 ± 13.90; 97.60 ± 12.60; 110.00 ± 13.3; 95.00 ± 8.4; 54.80 ± 8.7. Blood protein concentrations respectively; 7.70 ± 1.28; 10.30 ± 2.09; 10.14 ± 2.48; 9.16 ± 1.73; 9.56 ± 2.01; 6.16 ± 1.55. In general, the metabolic response of male and female Madura cattle at different age levels in the wet season is within the normal range. This shows that it can adapt well.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi respon metabolik sapi Madura pada musim basah. Materi penelitian meliputi 45 ekor sapi Madura yang meliputi perbedaan jenis kelamin dan umur. Respon metabolic dianalisis secara deskriptif, hasil penelitian didapatkan konsentrasi Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) pada sapi Madura jantan dan betina dengan umur berbeda antara lain: 20,96 ± 6,79; 22,04 ± 5,12; 18,63 ± 1,94; 15,86 ± 2,72; 27,42 ± 14,5; 21,40 ± 8,2. Konsentrasi trigliseride pada sapi Madura berturut-turut pada jenis kelamin dan umur yang berbeda yaitu; 11,00 ± 3,53; 21,60 ± 7,4; 11,00 ± 1,94; 12,00 ± 2,72; 9,20 ± 5,65; 11,00 ± 2,40. Konsentrasi Glukosa pada sapi Madura jantan dan betina dengan umur berbeda yaitu: 83,00 ± 16,90; 102,40 ± 13,90; 97,60 ± 12,60; 110,00 ± 13,3; 95,00 ± 8,4; 54,80 ± 8,7. Konsentrasi protein darah berturut-turut: 7,70 ± 1,28; 10,30 ± 2,09; 10,14 ± 2,48; 9,16 ± 1,73; 9,56 ± 2,01; 6,16 ± 1,55. Respon metabolic sapi Madura jantan maupun betina pada tingkatan umur yang berbeda di musim basah berada dalam kisaran normal.
