- The study was conducted to identify management and reproductive performance of Aceh cows kept by smallholder farmers in three different districts of North Aceh Regency. A total of 162 farmers and their cows in Muara Batu District, Sawang District, and Nisam District of North Aceh Regency were interviewed and measured. The interviews consisted of reproductive management done by farmers while measured were conducted on reproductive performances of Aceh cows. The result showed that the majority of farmers (47.22%) had a good performance on heat detection, and mostly (70.9%) apply natural mating method. Weaned was done after more than 8 months. Postpartum estrus and calving intervals significantly differed amongst sub-district, a cow kept by farmers in Nisam sub-district had the shortest postpartum estrus (105.65 days) and calving intervals (12.61 months). It is concluded that farmers in three sub-district had sufficient reproduction management with low reproductive efficiency of Aceh cows and the Aceh cows kept by farmers in Nisam sub-district had the best reproductive performances.
