Bali cattle is one of Indonesian native cattle that has a good potention as a premium beef by crossing with Angus cattle. Bone exponential growth is start up at weaning period. The goal of this research are to compare morphometric performances of Bali and Bali cross Angus weaning female cattle. The study included 10 Bali and 8 Bali cross Angus female cattle at 7-9 month of age. Digital image have taken by DSLR camera with 18Mp resolution. Cattle morphometric performance was measuring by Image J programme. The parameters that observed in this research were body length, body height, hip height, wither depth, length of ossa vertebrae cervicales, length of ossa vertebrae thoracicae, length of ossa vertebrae lumbales, length of ossa vertebrae sacrales, length of os scapula, length of os humerus, length of ossa radius-ulna, length of os metacarpale III, length of os femoris, length of ossa tibia-fibula, and length of os metatarsale III and body ratio that include body height- length ratio, wither depth-body height ratio and body height-hip height ratio. The data was analyzed by t-student test method. Almost all of parameters show the significant differences except length of ossa vertebrae thoracicae, length of os humerus, length of ossa radius-ulna. Bali cattle has longer of ossa vertebrae sacrales than Bali cross Angus cattle. Based on body ratio show that Bali cattle growth leads on fore- extremities, but Bali cross Angus cattle growth leads on hind-extremities. Bali cattle
is more ladder than Bali cross Angus cattle. |
