Abstract

Transportation could lead to stress on livestock, and it can be assessed by measuring behavioral. The aims of this research were to examine the behavioral of Bali and Bali crossed Angus during road-trip and oversea transportation. The research used 5 Bali and 5 Bali crossed Angus cattle bulls with an average age of I₀-I₃ and the body weights for Bali and Bali crossed Angus were 214,7±24,9 kg and 301,6±67,7 kg respectively. The transportation device was open deck truck with deck dimension was 8,04 m for length and 2,45 m for width that filled with 10 heads of cattle with random position between Bali and Bali crossed Angus cattle. Space allowance for each cattle was 1,97 m². Oversea transportation observed during across of Sunda strait. Road trip transportation observed from Merak port to IPB Darmaga campus. Both of them take time + 3 hours. The cattle behavioral observed using Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) 1080P of resolution. Observation was made every 3 hour for 10 minutes (600 sec). The parameters of behavior during transport observed comprised standing, lying, aggressiveness and ingestive (% time observation). Data was analyzed by t-student test method. During road-trip transportation, Bali cattle had significantly behavior on aggressiveness (5,31%) and ingestive (1,61%) than Bali crossed Angus cattle (3.11%) and (4,81%). During oversea transportation Bali crossed Angus cattle had significantly behavior on standing (24%) and lying (76%) than Bali cattle (100% lying). Bali cattle more active than Bali crossed Angus cattle on road-trip transportation but less on oversea transportation.
