Abstract
Artificial Insemination (AI) is a reproductive
technology that can improve the genetic quality of livestock in a short time, can
produce calves with good quality in large numbers by utilizing superior bulls.
This research aimed to determine the performance of Bali calves resulting from
artificial insemination with Limousin and Simmental bulls. The parameters
observed were birth weight, and body dimensions included shoulder height, body
length and chest size. Data were analyzed using T-test. The results showed that
the chest size of Simmental calves was significantly higher (P<0.05) in both
males and females compared to Limousin. Body length and shoulder height of Simmental
and Limousin calves were not significantly different (P>0.05) for both males
and females. Meanwhile, the body weight of Simmental was significantly higher
(P<0.05) in males compared to Limousin, but was not different (P>0.05) in
females. In conclusion, the performance of Simmental calves was better than
Limousin for both males and females based on chest size, but based on birth
weight only for males.
