Abstract

Sheep is one of Indonesia’s most important germplasms, whose prolific capability enables it to meet the meat consumption needs of small ruminants. PT Agro Investama is a private company that operates as the largest Sheep breeding center located in Malangbong District, Garut Regency, West Java. This research aimed to estimate the output of Garut, Dorper, and its crossed breed sheep at the company. The recording data used included the number of sheep born, mortality, breeding standard operational procedure, and population structure at the beginning and end of the 2020 year. The natural increase estimation for both ram and ewes was 28.22%, while the net replacement rate was 0.36% for ram and 13.37% for ewes. The output analysis showed that culled ram and ewes were 0.36% and 13.37%, respectively. The number of remaining replacement stocks for ram was 27.85% and 14.85% for the ewes. It can be concluded that PT Agro Investama can be considered as Garut sheep producing company.
