- Abstract
Swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) is one of the potential animal livestock for meat production but is still not popular as meat compared to both cattle and goats. Buffalo farmers, especially in Malang Regency, mostly used buffalo for ploughing the rice fields with traditional care and unprogrammed breeding. This initial research aims to study the relationship distance of swamp buffalo in three regions in East Java, Indonesia based on their phenotypic characteristics. A total of 60 bulls aged 60-90 months were used from three region in East Java, including 20 bulls from Banyuwangi, Madiun, and Malang Regency each. Samples were observed for their color in body, muzzle, lower legs, tail hair, eye circumference, and aberrant body color. The data was analyzed using PAST software with UPGMA and Euclidean distance, to obtain a dendrogram. The result of the dendrogram, from three regions in East Java, were categorized into two groups, A and B (distance 2.5). Group A, which were all from Malang Regency, showed high similarity, while in group B, between Madiun and Banyuwangi has more in common color characters.
