Ukuran dan Bentuk Tubuh pada Domba Ekor Tipis, Domba Batur, Domba Wonosobo dan Domba Garut

Abstract

Sheep potentially large as producing meat and wool for the public need the world. The research aimed to obtain genetic information morphometric characteristics based on size and shape body of Thin-tailed sheep (DET), Batur sheep (Dombat), Wonosobo sheep (Dombos), and Garut sheep (Fighting-type and Meat-production-type) that aged 1.5-2.0 years. Data obtained by measuring the linear body measurements sheep and processed with descriptive statistics, statistical T2-hotelling and principal component analysis. Result showed that body surface linear measurements were significantly different (P<0.01) between breeds. Principal component analysis resulted shoulder height was the size discriminator on DET, Dombat, Dombos, Fighting-type Garut and Meat-producing-type Garut sheep. Hip height was the size discriminator on DET, Fighting-type Garut and Meat-producing-type Garut sheep. Body length was the size discriminator on Dombat and Dombos. Shoulder height is a form discriminator on DET and Fighting-type Garut sheep. Body length is the shape discriminator on Dombat, Dombos and Meat-producing-type Garut sheep. Hip height is a form discriminator in Dombos while chest wid this a form discriminator in Meat-producing-type Garut sheep. Group diagram showed that the individual data for each sheep was unique because it formedits own group. Data group all sheep intersecting against DET, this shows that all sheep research had blood DET as their elders.
