Comparison Productivity of PE and Boer Goats Based on Body Size and Semen Macroscopic

This study aims to provide an overview of the productivity of PE goats and Boer goats as material for determining policies and programs for goat development in Indonesia. This research was conducted on November 29, 2021-December 29, 2021 at ASP Farm, Karangploso District, Malang. The material used was body size and semen macroscopic data from 10 PE goats and 10 Boer goats. The tools used are Artificial Vagina (AV), scale tube, pH meter, meter, measuring range and measuring stick. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive method. The results of the study observing the body size of PE goats were very significantly different from Boer goats (P<0.01). The average body length, chest circumference and shoulder height of PE goats were 88.4 cm, respectively; 92.1 cm; 90.2 cm and the male Boer goat is 76.7 cm; 87.2 cm; 79.3 cm. For the results of the macroscopic analysis of semen there was no significant difference except for the volume. For PE goats the average value of semen volume = 1.16 ml; color= 2,20; odor= 3.0; consistency = 2.40; and pH = 6.80. while the average volume of Boer goat semen = 0.96 ml; color= 2.60; odor= 3.0; consistency = 2.80; and pH= 7.0. The conclusion of this study is that PE goats are better than Boer in terms of body size and semen macroscopically.
