Vital Statistics Performants of Bali Cattle on Wet Peatland and Dry Peatland in Central Kalimantan

The purpose of this study is to evaluate Bali cattle breeds as potential livestock on peatlands. Wet peatland is an area that has abundant natural grass potential that grows around swamps and river banks, even above the river streams, while dry peat land utilizes forage that is planted as animal feed. Types of developed cattle in peatlands are generally Balinese cattle. Regional samples were used as many as 4 districts taken by purposive sampling based on the largest population of Bali cattle in peatlands with the used number as 314 samples. The results showed that the performance of Bali cattle which included vital statistics of brood stock body length, shoulder height and chest circumference that were maintained on wet peatlands was higher than dry peatlands that showed significant. Increasing livestock age will affect the increase in livestock's growth performance. Different maintenance between wet and dry peatlands in general for livestock breeding in the two locations already has good productivity. Keywords— Bali cattle, vital st
