This paper discusses the productivity of Kejobong and Bligon goats, two Local Indonesian goats breed kept by farmers at traditional management. On farm research was conducted for 12 months at Ngudidadi village, Purbalingga district, (45 farmers) and Purwo Manunggal farmer group, Gunungkidul (30 farmers). Sixty six does, 87 pre-weaning kids at Ngudidadi and 75 does, 95 kids in Purwomanunggal, aged 2.0-2.5 years, were regularly monitored, including services per conception (S/C), gestation period (GP), litter size (LS), birth weight (BW), postpartum mating (PPM), mortality, weaning weight (WW), average daily gain (ADG), kidding intervals, kid crop, doe reproduction index and doe productivity. On laboratory research was done using 9 male Kejobong and 9 male Bligon goats kept for 5 months were investigated their DM, CP and TDN intakes, and ADG. S/C, GP and PPM of Kejobong goats was higher (P<0.01) than Bligon goats, while LS did not significantly differ. BW and pre-weaning mortality was the same, while WW and ADG were significantly higher (P<0.05) in Kejobong kids rather than Bligon kids. The result from on-laboratory research showed that FI, DMI, CPI, and intake of TDN did not significantly differs between male Kejobong and Bligon goats. ADG, feed convertion and feed cost per-gain was also the same between the two types of local goats. Kejobong goats had a potentially better performance in terms of growth, feed intake and feed efficiency, however, poor management in terms of feed quality offered by the farmers make those potential was un-emerged, low reproductive performance of Kejobong does |
