Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyze the morphometric index of four buffalo populations in Southeast Sulawesi. Swamp buffaloes samples in this study were 271 head, from Bombana Island, Bombana Mainland, Kolaka, and Konawe populations. The observed morphometric index variables included height slope, length, width slope, depth, balance, and cumulative index. Morphometric index value comparison between populations was tested using the Duncan Multiple Range test at 5% probability. The results showed that the height slope index between four buffalo populations was not significantly different. The depth index of Bombana Island buffalo was higher significant difference than Konawe and Kolaka buffaloes, but not significant difference from Bombana Mainland buffalo. The length index value of Konawe buffalo was higher significant difference than Bombana mainland and Bombana Island Buffalo, but not different from Kolaka buffalo. The width slope index between the four populations was not different. The balance index of Bombana islands buffalo was significantly higher than the other three populations. The cumulative index value of Kolaka buffalo was higher significant difference than Bombana Mainland buffalo, but not different with Bombana Island and Konawe buffaloes, Bombana Island and Konawe buffaloes were also not significantly different. In conclusion, four buffalo populations in Southeast Sulawesi were classified as excellent types of meat with the characteristics of a fat body, wide and long, short legs, and have a relatively flat backline. The results can be used in the selection program of meat-type buffalo in Southeast Sulawesi.
