| dc.description.abstract | This study aimed to test the reliability or accuracy of various types of tape measure
and develop a model of the measuring tape and weight estimation formula based on
cow size chest circumference Peranakan Ongole, cross Brahman cattle, Limousin
Cattle, Cattle Bali and Aceh cattle. Research conducted at BPTU-HPT Indrapuri
Aceh, Desa Tanah Raja Sei Rampah Bedagai Serdang, Oil Palm Research Center
(PPKS), Livestock People in Tanjung Morawa Serdang Bedagai, and Livestock of the
people in the village of Big Two Falls Pantai Cermin District Serdang Bedagai , The
research was conducted from May to September 2015. The tape measure used in this
study is the measuring tape Agrotech, Animeter and Rondo, then use a formula
Schoorl and Smith as a comparison, as well as using a simple correlation analysis in
testing research data.
The result showed that the estimation of body weight for cattle crossbreed ongole,
Brahman cross cattle, cows limousines, bali cattle and cattle Aceh using a measuring
tape Agrotech, Animeter and Rondo obtained deviation of 30.03% for male cattle and
16.23% for livestock female. Conclusion estimation of body weight that comes
closest to the ongole crossbreed cattle, Brahman cross cattle, cows limousines, bali
cattle and cows Aceh is using a regression formula, namely for male animals Y = -
405.70 + 4,33X and for female animals Y = - 448.64 + 4,72X. | en_US |
