Identifikasi Sifat Kuantitatif dan Sifat Kualitatif pada Sapi Aceh Dalam Rangka Pelestarian Sumber Daya Genetik Ternak Lokal

ABSTRACT. Sapi Aceh merupakan sumber daya genetik ternak lokal dan merupakan rumpun sapi lokal Indonesia yang tersebar di Provinsi Aceh, dan telah ditetapkan berdasarkan Keputusan Menteri Pertanian nomor: 2907/Kpts/OT.140/6/2011 pada 17 Juni 2011. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan keragaman sapi Aceh di Kabupaten Aceh Besar saat ini dengan SNI 7651.3:2013. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Januari – April 2020. Jumlah sampel sapi Aceh jantan berumur 24-36 bulan sebanyak 62 ekor dan 106 ekor sapi Aceh betina berumur 15-18 bulan. Peubah yang diamati (1) tinggi pundak (TP), (2), panjang badan (PB). dan (3) lingkar dada (LD). Penentuan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, nilai sifat kuantitatif sapi Aceh jantan dan betina masing-masing memiliki tinggi pundak (TP) 108,08±3,59 cm dan 89,53±4,26 cm, panjang badan (PB) 110,26±4,92 cm dan 88,77±6,52 cm dan lingkar dada (LD) 141,02±7,34 cm dan 107,22±8,92 cm. Sebanyak 48,39 % sapi Aceh jantan termasuk kategori kelas III dan 30,19 % sapi Aceh betina termasuk kategori kelas II berdasarkan SNI 7651.3:2013. Sifat kualitatif bentuk muka sapi Aceh jantan dan betina secara keseluruhan berbentuk cekung dengan persentase 80,65 % dan 90,57 %. Sementara tanduk pada sapi Aceh jantan berbentuk ke samping melengkung ke atas dengan rataan persentase 51,61 % dan sapi Aceh betina secara umum hanya membentuk lingkaran tanduk pendek dengan rataan persentase sebesar 67,92 %. Bentuk garis punggung sapi Aceh jantan dan betina berbentuk cekung dengan persentase sebesar 72,58 % dan 79,25 %.  ((Identification of quantitative traits and qualitative traits in Aceh cattle in the context of preserving animal genetic resources) ABSTRAK. Aceh cattle are a genetic resource for local livestock and are a clump of local Indonesian cattle spread across Aceh Province, and have been determined based on the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture number: 2907 / Kpts / OT.140 / 6/2011 on 17 June 2011. This study aims to compare the diversity of Aceh cattle in Aceh Besar district currently with SNI 7651.3: 2013. This research was conducted in January - April 2020. The total samples of male Aceh cattle aged 24-36 months were 62 cows and 106 female Aceh cattle aged 15-18 months. The variables observed were (1) shoulder height (TP), (2), body length (PB). and (3) chest circumference (LD). Determination of the sample using purposive sampling method. Based on the results of the study, the quantitative traits of male and female Aceh cattle each had shoulder height (TP) 108.08 ± 3.59 cm and 89.53 ± 4.26 cm, body length (PB) 110.26 ± 4, 92 cm and 88.77 ± 6.52 cm and chest circumference (LD) 141.02 ± 7.34 cm and 107.22 ± 8.92 cm. A total of 48.39% of Aceh male cattle are in class III category and 30.19% of female Aceh cattle are categorized as class II based on SNI 7651.3: 2013. The qualitative characteristics of the face shape of male and female Aceh cattle are overall concave with a percentage of 80.65% and 90.57%.
