Daftar Isi:
- This study was conducted to observe the carcass characteristics of Bligon and Kejobong goats. Ten heads of six months aged male goats which were comprised of five heads of Bligon and five heads of Kejobong goats were used in this study. They were raised in the individual cage for three months prior to slaughter. The data collected were analyzed using one way of variance. Carcass weight, backfat thickness, ribeye area of Bligon and Kejobong goats were 7.31±0.60 and 7.55±0.96 kg, 0.68±0.16 and 0.66±0.13 cm, and 11.20±1.79 and 11.20±1.79 cm2, respectively. There were no significant different carcass weight, backfat thickness and ribeye area between Bligon and Kejobong goats. Carcass percentages of Bligon and Kejobong goats were 36.97±2.18 and 41.30±1.62%, respectively. Carcass percentage of Kejobong goats were higher (p<0.01) than that of Bligon goats. Meat bone ratio of Bligon and Kejobong goats were 1.47±0.19 and 2.08±0.42, respectively. Meat bone ratio of Kejobong goats were higher (p<0.05) than that of Bligon goats. It is concluded that carcass yield of Kejobong goats are better than that of Bligon goats. Key Words: Carcass, Bligon goat, Kejobong goat
