  • Beef-cow is one of the strategic livestock commodity that can support national stability. In an enhancement of domestic meat production and adequacy meat achievement program, the government has applied a policy through population enhancement and productivity of beef cow itself which are empowered to be inter-regional trading which consequently, it is required transportation to carry the cow. Transportation involves several factors that can cause cow to be stress or oppressed. Transportation stress will trigger an increasing of the frequency of breathing, pulse and body temperature. This research aims to determine the effect of transportation stress on the frequency of breathing, pulse and body temperature in ongole crossbred that traveled from Saradan, District Baturetno, Wonogiri towards Cangkringan, Yogyakarta. The research was conducted using six adult ongole crossbred cows, five females and a male. The data retrieval of physiological breath, pulse, and body temperature were taken immediately before and after transporting. The results showed that the average of pulse shortly before cows are transported is 59.33 times per minute, and it becomes 48.5 times per minute after arriving at the location. The average of breath frequency before transport is 26 times per minute and it decreases 17.83 times per minute after transport. At the same time, the average of body temperature is 38.4 Âo C before transport and becomes 39.3 Âo C after transport. Based on the observation we can conclude that: (1) transportation during four hours led to a decreased in the frequency of breath and pulsus while body temperature increased, (2) pulse, breathing and body temperature can be used as an indicator of stress.
