Abstract

This study aimed to assess the welfare and performance of Bali cattle transported by Camara Nusantara vessel. We observed five-day transporting of 30 Bali cattle (1-2 years old, 100-200kg body weight) from cattle loading at Tenau Port, Kupang and cattle handling during sea transportation to cattle unloading at Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta. The measured parameters were cattle’s physiological responses, including body surface temperature, foaming (excessive foam around their mouth), respiration (respiration rate during transportation), and panting (any panting behavior during the transport). The behavioral responses measured in this study were feeding behavior (do cattle eat normally during transportation process), lying (can cattle lie normally), agonistic interaction (mounting, head fighting, etc.), freeze during the loading/ unloading process (stop walking during loading and unloading process), coercion (cattle was hit during loading and unloading process), and slip/fall (cattle slipped or fell during loading and unloading process). The welfare evaluation was carried out by scoring system on the observed parameters. The result showed that the cattle showed a normal physiological response, except their body surface temperature was slightly above normal, i.e., 32-35oC. The cattle also showed normal behavior responses except for coercion. The average score gets from this study was 2.5, indicative of slightly poor physiology and behavior when cattle being transported.

Abstract

The potential of Sensi-1 Agrinak and KUB crossbred so-called SENKUB chicken as dual-purpose chicken can be increased by selecting hatching egg weights to get DOC with good quality. The study was conducted to evaluate the grades of hatching eggs of SENKUB chicken on hatching and production performances. The complete randomized design was applied in this experiment with 3 treatments. The treatments are the grades of hatching egg (small 36-40 g, medium 41-45 g, and large 46-50 g). The hatching process used two stages hatching machine. All DOCs were selected according to the Indonesia National Standard (SNI). The selected DOCs were raised in different pens to evaluate the production performances. The hatching showed that the large eggs have significantly the highest fertility, hatchability, hatching weight, and salable chick but the lowest weight loss. Embryo mortality was the same between different hatching egg grades. The best-weight DOC was obtained from medium and large hatching eggs. The hatching egg grades do not significantly affect the production performances of the hatched chicken. However, the chickens with small and large hatching eggs resulted in better production performance.
