RATIONALEBali cattle (Bos sundaicus or javanicus, Bos banteng) are distributed throughout South-East Asia with a population of 3.5 million animals centered in Indonesia.

l

ContinuationWeight range for male is 300-400 kg.

Continuation.Weight range for female is from 250-300 kg.

Continuation.Draught animals, highly fertile & well adapted to tropical environmentCentered in the Island of Bali Indonesia56 % dressing percentage

Continuation.In the Philippines it was imported in the late 40s and widespread in Cebu.USF has Bali cattle and showed a good performance.Conserve the genetic merit of the kind of cattle hence this study is conducted.

OBJECTIVESTo determine the productive and reproductive performance of Bali Cattle.

METHODOLOGYThe projects original plan would be divided into three (3) studies but simultaneously conducted to include the following:Productive Performance of Bali CattleCarcass Yield of Bali CattleReproductive performance of Bali Cattle

ContinuationAll breedable heifers and cows composed of 45 headsGrazingArtificial InseminationNo Supplementation

The following Data were gatheredBirth weightAll the data that will be gathered will be sent to Central Data Management Unit (CDMU) of the Bureau of Animal Industry for genetic evaluation.

STATISTICAL ANALYSISData will be analyzed using General Linear Model (SAS 9.11, 1989) and Least Square Means standard errors (LSM SE) for birth weight, weaning weight and yearling weight. Data will be subjected to PROC STEPWISE to determine the correct model to include
