PRODUKTIVITAS SAPI RAMBON DI BANYUWANGI

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui produktivitas sapi Rambon di
Kecamatan Glagah Kabupaten Banyuwangi yang meliputi aspek produksi dan
reproduksi. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Desa Kemiren, Olehsari dan Kampunganyar
di Kecamatan Glagah Kabupaten Banyuwangi pada bulan Maret-April 2006.
Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kasus. Materi penelitian
yang digunakan adalah 59 peternak sapi Rambon dengan jumlah sapi 126 ekor.
Data dianalisis secara deskriptif. Komposisi ternak jantan dan betina masing–
masing sebesar 20,63 % dan 79,37 %; tingkat kelahiran dan kematian ternak
masing-masing sebesar 23,81 % dan 0,79 %; pertambahan populasi sebesar
23,02 %; mutasi ternak yang masuk dan keluar masing-masing sebesar 29,37 %
dan 19,05 % antar peternak. Penampilan reproduksi sapi Rambon antara lain
meliputi umur pertama kawin 24,80 ± 2,21 tahun; service per conception untuk
perkawinan alami, IB dan campuran masing-masing sebesar 1,68 ± 0,95; 1,50 ±
0,65 dan 1,40 ± 0,89; calving interval sebesar 12,38 ± 0,59 bulan; estrus post
partum sebesar 60,25 ± 5,66 hari; service post partum 84,48 ± 7,96 hari.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa produktivitas sapi Rambon
dalam kategori baik dengan persentase kelahiran 65,22% dari populasi induk;
22,81 persen dari total populasi dan persentase kematian 0,79 persen dari total
populasi, sehingga diperoleh pertambahan populasi 23,02 persen. Sedangkan dari
aspek reproduksi menunjukkan bahwa calving interval berada dalam kondisi ideal.
Program untuk meningkatkan angka panenan pedet hendaknya perlu diperhatikan
manajemen reproduksi terutama betina produktif dengan meningkatkan kelahiran.

ABSTRACT
The study was conducted at the Village Kemiren, Olehsari and Kampunganyar in
Glagah District-Banyuwangi Regency from March to April 2006. The Objectives of the
research were to study about the productivity of Rambon cattle throughout the production
and reproduction performance. Fifty nine farmers who keep 126 head of Rambon cattle
were selected and interviewed using purposive sampling method. Descriptive and
statistical analyses were applied to the data available. It was found that the composition
percentage of bull and steer were 20,63 and 79,37 percent; the birth percentage of the
cattle was 22,81% while the mortality was 0,79%; natural increase was 23,02%; the
percentage of mutation including inside and outside research area were 29,37% and
19,05% gradually; the first age for mating was 24,80 ± 2,21 year; service per conception
toward natural mating, artificial insemination and combination of both were 11,68 ± 0,95;
1,50 ± 0,65 and 1,40 ± 0,89; calving interval was 12,38 ± 0,59 month; estrus post partum
was 60,25 ± 5,66 days; service post partum was 84,48 ± 7,96 days. Based on the
statements above, the conclusion of the study state that the productivity of Rambon cattle
was good. From the study, in order to increase the calf harvest, it is suggested to pay
more attention to the reproduction management, especially the productive cows by
increasing natality.
