Abstract

The research was carried out to decrease the mortality rate of Bali calves. This research was conducted at the Trial Farm of BPTP NTT for 3 years, it started in 2016 until 2018. The material used in this research was Bali calves, communal shed, and separate shed. The data collection system is carried out by observing the population of Bali calves every year. In 2016-2017, Bali calves were maintenanced in communal shed; in 2018-2019 in a separate shed. The results of Bali calves mortality research were highest in 2017, that was with the calves maintenance system combined in communal shed with adult cattle. After the treatment of Bali calves separation from broodstock in 2018, the percentage of mortality rate decreased. The high mortality rate of calves is one of them caused by competition in feed between adult cows and Bali calves which causes nutrition obtained by calves for a period of growth and development was not optimal. The steps to reduce the mortality rate i.e separation of Bali calves from adult cows in a special of Bali calves separation shed.
