Abstract

This research focused on the morphometric characters and population structure of Madura cattle. A total of 176 cattle were sampled by observation, measurement, and direct interviews with cattle owners. The observed variables are population structure, qualitative and quantitative characteristics. The results showed that the Madura cattle population in Guluk-guluk District was 246 head, consisting of 64 heifer calves (26.02%), 55 heifer (22.35%), 87 cows (35.36%), and 40 bulls (16.25%). Quantitative characteristics including the average height of the hump of cows at 124.68±6,26 cm, body length 126.39±11,41 cm, chest girth 157.50±11,65 cm, hip height 121.82±4,69 cm, head index of 40.95±2,68 cm and 17.33±1,70 cm. The dominant qualitative traits were red coat color, white markings, upward horn orientation, and the presence of a dorsal stripe and dewlap. Approximately 68% of the cattle met the phenotypic criteria of the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) for Madura cattle, highlighting their potential as a breeding population. It is concluded that the quantitative characteristics of Madura cattle that meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) number 7651:2 of 2023 are as follows: 10.57% for class I, 15.38% for class II, 16.34% for class III, while 57.69% do not meet the standard. Cattle that meet these SNI classifications are considered to have superior breeding potential, as they are more likely to produce offspring that exhibit the distinctive qualitative traits of the Madura cattle breed.
