- Abstract
The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the season and the birth weight of Madura cattle on weaning weight and linear body measurements of Madura cattle. The research material consisted of 128 Madura cattle located at the BPTU-HPT Pelaihari, South Kalimantan. The research method used a case study approach with direct field observations. The research variables included the season in Pelaihari, South Kalimantan, birth weight of cattle, weaning weight of cattle and linear body measurements. Data were analyzed using correlation, simple linear regression analysis, and t-test. The research indicated that the birth weight of cattle had a highly significant relationship (p < 0.01) with weaning weight. The linear regression equation between birth weight and weaning weight was represented as Y = 35.05 + 4.44X with a correlation coefficient of 0.53. The t-test results indicated that birth weight (BW), Body Length (BL), Shoulder Height (SH) of male and female Madura cattle differed significantly, while Chest Girth (CG) did not differ significantly. The t-test results also showed that BW, BL, CG at the weaning age of male and female Madura cattle did not differ significantly, but SH differed significantly. Birth weight, body length, shoulder height, and chest girth of calves born in the rainy and dry seasons did not differ significantly, while there was a significant difference in the shoulder height of Madura cattle at the weaning age. In conclusion, the season and birth weight did not significantly affect body weight, body length, chest girth, and linear body measurements. However, they did significantly affect shoulder height at the weaning age of Madura cattle.
