- Abstract
This research aims to evaluate the morphometric characteristics of lactating cows with potential and proven bulls conducted in Malang Regency and Batu City, East Java. The morphometrics of dairy cows influence milk production, and traits such as stature, body depth, rump angle, and rump width have fairly high heritability, indicating a high probability that these traits will be inherited by their offspring. A total of 202 lactating cows were involved in this study, consisting of 110 participated cows and 92 comparison participated cows. The method used in this study was a survey method with data collection through purposive sampling, focusing on lactating cows based on specific criteria. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis. The results showed that the morphometrics of the participated cows, including stature, body depth rump angle, and rump width, had scores of 4.1, 6.5, 5.1, and 5.4, while the morphometrics of the comparison participated cows, had scores of 4.1, 6.4, 5.3, and 5.1. It can be concluded that the morphometrics of the participated cows and comparison participated cows have almost the same scores and fall into the intermediate category.
