Abstract

ABSTRACT  A livestock contest is a strategic approach that can encourage improvements in maintenance quality and motivate farmers in developing their livestock. This activity was carried out in Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua, involving 30 Indigenous Papuan (OAP) farmers with a total of 50 Bali cattle. After administrative selection and health checks, 34 cattle were assessed based on morphometric parameters, Body Condition Score (BCS), estimated body weight, and maintenance management. The results showed significant variation in livestock performance and the level of adoption of maintenance practices. Farmers’ involvement in the measurement process provided direct educational experiences and increased awareness of the importance of data-based management and livestock breeding selection to improve productivity. In addition to identifying livestock individuals with superior genetic potential, the contest also encouraged a shift in farmers’ mindset toward sustainable livestock development. This model is recommended as a replicable approach for regions with similar socio-economic conditions.  Keywords: Bali cattle; husbandry management; Indigenous Papuan; livestock contest; selective breeding   ABSTRAK  Kontes ternak merupakan pendekatan strategis yang dapat mendorong peningkatan kualitas pemeliharaan dan motivasi peternak dalam mengembangkan ternaknya. Kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di Kabupaten Sorong, Papua Barat Daya, melibatkan 30 peternak Orang Asli Papua (OAP) dengan total 50 ekor sapi Bali. Setelah seleksi administratif dan pemeriksaan kesehatan, 34 ekor sapi dinilai berdasarkan parameter morfometrik, Body Condition Score (BCS), estimasi bobot badan, dan manajemen pemeliharaan. Hasil menunjukkan variasi signifikan dalam performa ternak dan tingkat adopsi praktik pemeliharaan. Keterlibatan peternak dalam proses pengukuran menciptakan pengalaman edukatif langsung dan meningkatkan kesadaran akan pentingnya manajemen -pemeliharaan dan seleksi bibit ternak untuk meningkatkan produktivitas ternak. Selain mengidentifikasi individu ternak berpotensi genetik unggul, kontes ini juga mendorong perubahan pola pikir peternak ke arah pengembangan ternak berkelanjutan. Model ini direkomendasikan sebagai pendekatan replikatif untuk wilayah dengan kondisi sosial-ekonomi serupa.

Abstract

Phenotypic evaluation of contest cattle provides useful information for understanding body conformation and physical condition under field conditions, yet objective studies on contest-based cattle populations remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate morphometric traits and body condition score (BCS) of contest cattle from Sorong Regency, Southwest Papua, and to assess their variation according to district and sex, as well as the relationships among measured traits. Data were collected from 31 contest cattle originating from seven districts, consisting of 8 males and 23 females. The evaluated variables included chest girth (CG), body length (BL), withers height (WH), and BCS. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, while sex and district effects were analyzed using the Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis test, respectively. Relationships among variables were examined using Spearman’s rank correlation, and principal component analysis (PCA) was applied to describe the multivariate structure of morphometric variation. The overall mean values were 152.60 ± 25.99 cm for CG, 108.26 ± 10.83 cm for BL, 116.58 ± 12.66 cm for WH, and 3.19 ± 0.54 for BCS. No significant differences were found between males and females for any variable. In contrast, district had a significant effect on WH and BCS, with the main difference occurring between Aimas and Mariat. Chest girth was positively correlated with BL (rho = 0.66, p < 0.001) and BCS (rho = 0.54, p < 0.01), indicating that this trait was the most informative single morphometric variable in the dataset. PCA showed that the first two principal components explained 87.55% of the total variation, representing general body size and vertical body structure. In conclusion, contest cattle in Sorong Regency exhibited greater phenotypic variation across districts than between sexes, and chest girth may serve as a practical indicator for field-based phenotypic evaluation of contest cattle.
