Karakteristik dan Kualitas Semen Sapi Bali dan Silangan Sapi Bali - Banteng di Balai Besar Inseminasi Buatan Singosari
Abstract
Bali cattle are Indonesian native cattle that have been domesticated from
Banteng (Bos Banteng). Bali cattle have a better reproductive ability in the tropics
compared to exotic cattle such as Simmental cattle and Limousine cattle. This study
aimed to analyze the characteristics and quality of cement of Bali cattle and
Jaliteng cattle (Banteng Cross). This study used secondary data from Balai Besar
Inseminasi Buatan Singosari, Malang, East Java with a total of 1170 data
consisting of 1 Jaliteng cattle with 27 ejaculations, and 33 Bali cattle with 9-47
ejaculations (an average of 35 ejaculations) for one year. Variable data for each
breed of cattle were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, and t-test. Based
on the results of the study, it was found that Bali cattle and Jaliteng cattle at BBIB
Singosari had significantly different characteristics and cement quality and that
crossing between Bali and Banteng cattle has an impact on the decline in sperm in
Bali cattle. The results of this study showed that the cement of Bali cattle and
Jaliteng cattle had good characteristics and quality and met the eligibility
standards to be processed and distributed either into liquid cement or frozen cement
for artificial insemination programs.
