ABSTRACT

The Pesisir cattle are indegenously West Sumateran cattle. Their production and its carcass quality need to be improved although they can adapt to local environment with sufficiently available low quality feed resources. A reseach has been carried out to study the effects of feeding level of concentrate based on local available feedstuffs and the length of fattening period to the growth rate and the carcass characteristics of the Pesisir cattle.

This reseseach is an intensive care randomized block design with three blocks. The first factor is two levels of feeding, i.e: A1 = 50 % concentrate + 50 % ammoniated rice straw, A2 = 75 % concentrate + 25 % amoniated rice straw. The second is time period of fattening, i.e: B1 = 3 months and B2 = 4 months.

The results showed that there was no interaction between the level of feeding and fattening period to the growth, percentage of carcass, the back fat thickness and the rib eye area of the pesisir cattle (P > 0.05). The higher of concentrate percentage, the higher the growth of the cattle, the chicker the back fat and the wider the rib eye area will be (P<0.05). Similarly, the longer the fattening, the higher the percentage of carcass, the chicker the back fat and the wider rib eye area will be.
