Morfometrik Ayam Kampung dan Ayam Lokal Tipe Tangkas di Dusun Semangke Kecamatan Jenu Kabupaten Tuban

Abstract

Ayam lokal Indonesia termasuk ayam kampung (Gallus gallus domesticus), merupakan salah satu sumber daya genetik ternak yang memiliki keragaman genetik dan potensi untuk dikembangkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengkaji karakteristik morfometrik ayam kampung dan ayam lokal tipe tangkas di Dusun Semangke, Kecamatan Jenu, Kabupaten Tuban. Bahan yang digunakan meliputi 18 ekor ayam lokal tipe tangkas dengan jenis kelamin jantan 5 ekor dan betina 13 ekor, serta 23 ekor ayam kampung dengan jenis kelamin jantan 10 ekor dan jenis kelamin betina 13 ekor. Peubah yang diukur meliputi panjang Os sternum, lebar Os sternum, dalam sternum, lingkar Os sternum, panjang Os femur, panjang Os tibia, panjang Ossa metatarsus, lingkar Ossa metatarsus, panjang sayap, panjang Ossa vertebrae thoracales, dan panjang Ossa vertebrae cervicales. Data dianalisis secara deskriptif dengan menyajikan nilai rataan, simpangan baku, dan koefisien keragaman. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa betina ayam lokal tipe Tangkas secara signifikan lebih besar pada peubah panjang dada, lebar dada, dalam dada, panjang Os tibia, panjang Ossa metatarsus, lingkar Ossa metatarsus, panjang sayap, panjang Ossa vertebrae thoracales, dan panjang Ossa vertebrae cervicales daripada ayam kampung, sedangkan jantan ayam lokal tipe tangkas secara signifikan lebih besar dari ayam kampung pada panjang dada, panjang Ossa metatarsus, dan lingkar Ossa metatarsus. Morfometrik ayam kampung dan ayam lokal tipe tangkas berbeda.

Indonesian local chickens, including native chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus), are one of the livestock genetic resources that have genetic diversity and potential to be developed. This study aims to assess the morphometric characteristics of native chickens and local agile-type chickens in Semangke Village, Jenu Subdistrict, Tuban Regency. The materials used included 18 local agile-type chickens with 5 males and 13 females, and 23 native chickens with 10 males and 13 females. The measured variables included length of Os sternum, width of Os sternum, depth of sternum, circumference of Os sternum, length of Os femur, length of Os tibia, length of Ossa metatarsus, circumference of Ossa metatarsus, wing length, length of Ossa vertebrae thoracales, and length of Ossa vertebrae cervicales. Data were analyzed descriptively by presenting the mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation. The results showed that females of Tangkas type local chickens were significantly greater in the variables of breast length, breast width, breast depth, Os tibia length, Ossa metatarsus length, Ossa metatarsus circumference, wing length, Ossa vertebrae thoracales length, and Ossa vertebrae cervicales length than native chickens, while males of Tangkas type local chickens were significantly greater than native chickens in breast length, Ossa metatarsus length, and Ossa metatarsus circumference. Morfometric of native chicken with local fighting type chicken in Semangke Village was not same.
