The research objectives was to analyze the farmer’s decision in selecting breed of bull frozen
semen for Artificial Insemination (AI) and determine the factors influencing the decision. There were
five bull frozen semen options which simulated in this research, such as Simmental, Limousine, Ongole
Grade (Peranakan Ongole / PO), Brahman, and other option. ”Other” option was used if the farmer did
not recognize what breed of frozen semen was inseminated to their cow. Farmers must choose only one
option of bull frozen semen that suitable for their cow. This study was conducted by collecting data
using questionaire from 400 beef cattle’s farmers in Central Java Province and Yogyakarta Province.
Respondents were selected by multistage random sampling technique. Descriptive statistical analysis
and multinomial logistic regression analysis was used in this study The results revealed that 42% of farmers were more interested in inseminating their cows with bull semen from Simmental, and 30.75%
of farmers were more interested in Limousin. Other variables such as family member, AI’s cost, land
ownership, cow breed which lastly being inseminated, geographical factor, and farmer’s knowledge
about the inseminators were variables that determine farmer’s decision process. |
