<![CDATA[Body frame size refers to the dimensions of a cow’s body as measured by its skeletal structure; it is commonly used as a reference in the selection process for dairy cattle. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between body frame size and reproductive performance in dairy cattle at the KUD Giri Tani Cisarua smallholder farm in Bogor. It specifically explores this relationship in a local, smallholder context, where such data are scarce. We hypothesized that specific body frame measurements would significantly correlate with reproductive performance. The study collected primary and secondary data to analyze the relationship between X and Y variable using correlation and multiple linear regression analyses in Minitab 22. The results of the partial multiple linear regression indicated that the variable with the lowest (though non-significant) P-value was Shoulder Height. The results of the simultaneous multiple linear regression analysis showed no significant results, with a P-value > 0,05. Based on the coefficient of determination, the variables of body frame size, S/C, and conception rate were 27,85% and 19,81%, respectively. Based on these results, it is concluded that reproductive performance is more influenced by factors other than body frame size, indicating that this study still has limitations in its scope.]]>
