Ongole grade (OG) cows are mostly kept at the smallholder farmer level, carried out traditionally - for instance, on the cow's housing system, using individual tie-stall (ITS), or communal tie-stall (CTS) system. The housing system can affect the reproductive performance of the cows. This study aims to determine the better type of housing to be applied at the smallholder farmer level based on reproductive performance. Forty-three OG cows were divided into the ITS (n=20 cows) and CTS (n=23 cows) systems. Post-partum estrus (PPE), post-partum mating (PPM), weaning age (WA), service per conception (S/C), calving interval (CI), and calf crop (CC) as reproductive performance indicator were collected through farmer recording, then were analyzed using the independent sample t-test. The results showed that the type of communal tie-stall was significantly better on S/C, WA, CI, and CC. In conclusion, using a communal tie-stall housing system was better for OG cow's reproductive performance. |
