Profil Indeks Klinis dan Kesehatan Kuku Berdasarkan Kelompok Ternak Pada Domba Garut.

Abstract

The level of productivity of sheep is closely linked to the health condition. In order to increased the health condition of Garut’s sheep we perform clinical evaluation based on physiological state. This study was conducted to assess the health of hoof, body condition scores (BCS) and its relation to body temperature as a parameter Garut’s sheep body temperature. This study used redomizing stall animals that consist of 10 male lambs, 10 male adolescents, 10 studs, 10 female lambs, 10 nolly-para females, 10 gestations, 10 flushing animals, and 10 lactating animals. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistic. The result showed that the health of hoof tend to be related to the body temperature. The animal with high in normal ranging of temperature were found highly among studs that characterized by crack and long hoof. Other result showed that the score of BCS was tend to be related cenversely to the body temperature. In female sheep, the animals with low in normal ranges of temperature were found more in gestation animals (approcimately BCS 3, 39.4 ºC), and followed by flushing animals (approcimately BCS 3, 38.1 ºC) and lactating animals (approcimately BCS 2, 37.8 ºC). In male sheep animals (approcimately BCS 2.5, 41.0 ºC), and followed by male lambs (approcimately BCS 2.1, 39.8 ºC) and female lambs (approcimately BCS 1.5, 39.7 ºC).
