The Relative Superiority of Crossbred Using Friesian Holstein Hybrid Cement Bull to Local Ongole Hybrid Cattle

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relative superiority of crossbred to local Ongole hybrid (PO) cattle. This research was carried out for 18 months in the Konawe Selatan, and Kolaka Timur Regency, Southeast Sulawesi Province. The number of cows used was 48 cows, and the cement used was Friesian Holstein Hybrid (PFH) Cement and Ongole hybrid (PO) Cows from BBIB Lembang. Data were analyzed by the general linear model (General Liner Model) with the source of diversity was genotype and sex of calf. Based on the results of the study concluded that the crossbred calf has a relatively high relative advantage over local Ongole hybrid cattle with an average value of 7.76-11.28%. The crossing of Friesian Holstein Hybrid (PFH) cows with Ongole hybrid (PO) parents resulted in offspring with PFPO genotype with an average relative superiority value (for all parameters) of 11.28%, higher than the PFS genotype of 7.65% and PFL of 9.60%. The Result of this crossing increases meat production, and it is recommended to crossbreed PFH cows with PO mothers; however, they still consider their suitability to the local environment and the purity of local PO cows.
