Influences of Conventional Feeding Regimen on the Productivity of Bali Cattle in Samarinda
Abstract
The pattern of Bali cattle farming in Indonesia is dominated by
traditional livestock systems which are identical to local feeding (without
taking into account the needs of cattle. This study aims to determine the effect
of conventional feeding on the productivity of Bali cattle in Lempake
Village, North Samarinda Sub-district, Samarinda City. The study targeted
male Bali cattle and measured chest circumference for body weight gain
(BWG), Average Daily Gain (ADG), and feed weighing to obtain Dry Matter
Intake (DMI) and feed efficiency. The data were analyzed using a multiple
linear analysis with the help of a computer program SPSS to assess the
correlation between productivity and the independent variables, namely
X1 = DMI; X2= BWG; X3= ADG; and X4= feed efficiency. The results showed
that the samples had an average DMI, BWG, ADG, and feed efficiency of 16.54,
0.43, 0.43 kg/head/day, and 2.58%, respectively. The regression equation
obtained was Y = -1,974+0,005X1-0,0559X2+ 11,685X3+ 1,1287X4 and the
coefficient of determination revealed that all the variables had a 90.6% effect on
Bali cattle productivity. Bali cattle had a productivity value of 1.85, which shows
that the fattening business was profitable or economically feasible
