COMPARATION ON DOES PRODUCTIVITY INDEX BETWEEN BOERAWA AND ETTAWA GRADE GOAT AT CAMPANG VILLAGE, TANGGAMUS, LAMPUNG

Abstract

Data from 30 crossbred Boerawa does and 30 Ettawa Grade goat (EG) does that was
kidding twice or more than twice were analysed to evaluate and compare does productivity index of them. This research has been conducted on 15‘ Febniary up to 31“ April, 2006 at Campang Village, Tanggamus, Lampung. Variables measured were weaning weight of kids, kidding intervals, and litter size. Birth weight, the age of does, the type of birth and keeping, the sex of kids were variables supporting the prime variables that had function to calculate the corrected weaning weight. Based on the variables, Doe Productivity Index was calculated and being analysed by t-student test. Litter size of Boerawa does (1.710 i 0.370 kids) were different significantly (P 5 0.05) with EG does (1.570 1 0.279 kids). Kidding interval of Boerawa does (11.77 i 0.41) were not different (P > 0.05) with EG does (11.20 i 0.80 months). Weaning weight of Boerawa kids (14.277 i 0.709 kg) were differrent (P5005) with EG kids (12.929 i 0.556kg). Does producitivity index of Boerawa (30,17 :1: 7,30 kg) were different (P 50.05) with EG (25,53 i 5,57 kg). It could be concluded that does productivity index of Boerawa were higher and better than EG.
