Hubungan Volume Ambing dan Ukuran Puting Terhadap Produksi Susu di KUD GIRI TANI BOGOR

Abstract

ABSTRAK ALFIA LIDYA PUTRI LINTANG. Hubungan Volume Ambing dan Ukuran Puting Terhadap Produksi Susu di KUD GIRI TANI BOGOR. Dibimbing oleh PRIA SEMBADA. Produksi susu di Indonesia lebih rendah dari kebutuhan susu yang terus meningkat sehingga ketergantungan dengan impor susu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara volume ambing dan ukuran puting terhadap produksi susu sapi perah di KUD Giritani, Bogor. Penelitian ini menggunakan 100 ekor sapi perah Frisian Holstein yang sedang laktasi. Variabel yang diamati berdasarkan volume ambing, kedalaman ambing, panjang puting, dan lingkar puting. Analisis data menggunakan Korelasi Pearson dan Regresi Linear Sederhana maupun Berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa volume ambing, kedalaman ambing, panjang puting, dan lingkar puting memiliki hubungan yang signifikan (P<0,05) terhadap produksi susu, dengan volume ambing memiliki korelasi sedang (r=0,514) dan faktor lain menunjukkan korelasi rendah hingga sangat rendah. Analisis Regresi menunjukkan bahwa faktor-faktor tersebut berkontribusi terhadap produksi susu, namun sebagian besar variasi produksi susu masih dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain seperti genetik, kualitas pakan, dan manajemen pemeliharaan. Kesimpulan penelitian ini bahwa volume ambing dan ukuran puting dapat digunakan sebagai indikator dalam pemilihan sapi perah produktif, namun perlu memperhatikan faktor pendukung lainnya. Kata kunci: ambing, sapi perah, produksi susu. ABSTRACT ALFIA LIDYA PUTRI LINTANG. Relationship Between Udder Volume and Teat Size on Milk Production of Dairy Cows at KUD Giritani Bogor. Supervised by PRIA SEMBADA. Milk production in Indonesia falls short of the growing demand, leading to a reliance on milk imports. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between udder volume and teat size in the milk production of dairy cows at KUD Giritani, Bogor. The study used 100 lactating Friesian Holstein cows. The measured variables measured were udder volume, udder depth, teat length, and teat circumference. Data analysis was conducted using correlation, simple linear, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that udder volume, udder depth, teat length, and teat circumference had a significant relationship (P<0.05) with milk production, with udder volume having a moderate correlation (r=0.514). In contrast, other factors showed low to very low correlations. Regression analysis indicated that these factors contributed to milk production; however most of the variation in milk yield was still influenced by other factors such as genetics, feed quality, and management practices. It was concluded that udder volume and teat size can be used as indicators in selecting productive dairy cows, but supporting factors must also be considered. Keywords: dairy cow, udder, milk production.
