Abstract

The objectives of the research were to find out the morphometric characteristics (qualitative and quantitative traits) in local sheep, especially Fat-tailed sheep (JFTS) and nonlocal sheep (Texel sheep). The observation was done in 24 FTS ewe and 39 Texel ewe. Variables in this research was the qualitative characteristics of adult FTS ewe including the color of white wool, the shape of the long head, and erect/droopy ears, while in adult Texel ewe it is the color of white wool and brownish, the shape of the head is the majority medium, erect/droopy ear. Quantitative characteristic of adult FTS include head length 19.58 ± 0.82 cm, head width 12.23 ± 0.54 cm, cephalic/head index 62.68 ± 4.40%, body weight 30.17 ± 2.94 kg, wither height 62.91 ± 3.29 cm, chest girth 73.30 ± 3.58 cm, body length 60.36 ± 3.29 cm. While in adult Texel ewe include head length 16.81 ± 0.26 cm, head width 12.57 ± 0.37 cm, cephalic index 74.76 ± 1.61%, body weight 31.18 ± 3.45 kg, wither height 59.57 ± 4.15 cm, chest girth 72.87 ± 2.16 cm, body length 57.24 ± 4.45 cm. Conclusion: (1) qualitative characteristic of fat-tailed sheep and Texel are already have similarity to The Minister of Agriculture No. 2389/Kpts/LB.430/8/2012 and Texel Sheep (the Minister of Agriculture No. 2915/ Kpts/OT.140/6/2011). (2) The quantitative character both in FTS and Texel sheep are not fulfil the standard, (3) The head shape of FTS are mostly Delicocephalic (long head) and Texel sheep are Delicocephalic (48.7%) and Mesophalic (medium head/51.27%).
