- Abstract
Bligon goats in Bantul Regency are found in various agro-ecological zones, consisting of lowland and hilly areas, affecting reproductive performances. This study aimed to investigate the reproductive performances of the Bligon goats in different agro-ecological zones in the Bantul Regency. A total of 80 Bligon kept by farmers in the lowland and hilly area was observed and recorded. The data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using the Independent Sample T-Test. The results showed that Bligon kept by farmers in the lowland significantly have better reproductive performances (P<0.05) than hilly area, in terms of first mating age (9.60 ± 3.22 vs. 11.07 ± 2.41 months), first kidding age (15.00 ± 3.23 vs. 16.70 ± 2.53 months), post-partum mating (4.75 ± 2.23 vs. 4.9 ± 2.34 months), and litter size (1.62 ± 0.58 vs. 1.37 ± 0.49). In contrast, the length of pregnancy and the kidding interval were not significantly different between the kept by farmers in the lowland and hilly areas. It was 5.07 ± 0.26 vs. 5.10 ± 0.30 and 9.32 ± 3.53 vs. 9.37 ± 3.83 months, respectively. It can be concluded that the Bligon goats kept by farmers in the lowland have better reproductive performance than hilly areas.
