Abstract

Morphometri studies of a livestock breed are generally required to provide an overview of their characteristics, and be useful to recognise their phenotype. Etawa crossbred (PE) goats have been registered as a local breed and the Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health assign several location as breed development areas. This study was conducted to 24 farmers who raised PE goats with a total of 53 heads from different sex and age at Banjarmangu Sub District of Banjarnegara district, Central Java. Data were analysed using General Linear Model, with dependent variables of body weight (BW), body length (BL), height at withers (WH), chest circumference (CC), chest depth (CD), shoulder width (SW), rump height (RH), rump width (RW), rump circumference (RC), cannon circumference (CC) and ear length (EL), with the independent variables were sex and age. Several morphological indices such as Body Index (BI), Height Index (HI), Length Index (LI), Area Index (AI) and Thorax Index (TI) were calculated. The results showed that WH, CC and RH were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by sex and age of goats with the average of WH, CC, RH were 52.43 kg, 83.74 cm and 82.81 cm, respectively. Whereas BW, BL, EL, CD and SW were significantly (P < 0.05) influenced by sex with the average were 52.43 kg; 77.3 cm, 33.1 cm, 32.5 cm and 19.6 cm, respectively. In addition, the average of BI, HI, LI, AI and TI were 0.92 ± 0.05; 0.96 ± 0.03; 0.96 ± 0.09; 6255.80 ± 1293.69 and 0.61 ± 0.09, respectively.
