Abstract

Temperature and humidity significantly influence productivity and animal welfare. Goat rearing, despite their generally heat-resistant nature, can be challenged by heat stress. The Benezera Coefficient of Adaptation (BCA) is a tool used to assess livestock's adaptive capabilities. This study evaluated the adaptive ability of Pote goats raised on smallholder farms in Bangkalan, Madura Island. Two hundred Pote goats of various ages were observed under a grazing management system. Environmental temperature and humidity were recorded twice daily (07:00 and 15:00 local time), along with rectal temperature and respiration rate. Results indicated temperatures in Bangkalan ranged from 25–33 ℃ with humidity levels between 50–70%. Goats under 1 year old exhibited an average rectal temperature of 39.04 ± 0.58 ℃ and a respiration rate of 26.704 ± 5.66 breaths/minutes. For goats over 1 year old, these values were 38.81 ± 0.60 ℃ and 28.10 ± 5.36 breaths/minutes, respectively. The BCA values for goats under 1 year old were 2.00, and for those over 1 year old, they were 2.15. These results suggest that Pote goats in Bangkalan, regardless of age, demonstrate strong adaptive abilities (BCA values close to 2).
