【 摘 要 】

This research aims to analyze reproduction performances and characters of swamp buffalo in several districts of East Java province. Methods used survey in smallholder farmers level, located in selected districts areas with the high, medium and low population. Farmer as well as animals selected by snowball sampling of about 623 heads animals. The result shows that in general female reproductive performance is categorized as low. Variables observed show that the age of first mating is 31.12 + 6.01 month, pregnancy duration is 10.65 + 1.89 months, the age of first yearling 43.12 + 4.79 months, an estrus postpartum 5.79 + 3.73 months. The service per conception is categorized as high of 1.79 + 0.82 includes of the interval of birth is 14.45 + 3.73 Finally, buffalo reproductive efficiency is estimated as 85.51 + 16.09. Within traditional extensive breeding which swamp buffalo, in general, was reared in the group in both rice field area and dry land area. The problem of facing in reproduction performance is may be mainly because of limited female productivity in a population or the availability of male for breeding purposes. So, reproductive performance of swamp buffalo in East Java was categorized as lower than usual, mainly based on the interval of birth and service per conception.
