Abstract


An experiment was conducted from January, 2007 to October, 2009 at Village Breeding Centre, Campang Village, Lampung Province to study genetic potency of weaning weight and productivity of Boerawa F1, Boerawa Backcross 1 (BC 1), and Boerawa Backcross 2 (BC 2)resulted from grading up program between Ettawa Grade Goat does and Boer rams. Variables measured in this research were weaning weight of kids. genetic potency of weaning weight were evaluated through Most Probable Producing Ability (MPPA) and productivity through Dam Productivity Index (DPI). The results indicated that genetic potency and productivity of Boerawa BC 2 were the highest . It could be concluded that genetic potency of weaning weight and productivity of crossbred goat increased when the proportion of Boer genetics was higher in Boerawa grade goats.
