【 摘 要 】

This paper aims to analyze the decision of the farmers in selecting the bull semen at the time of insemination. There are several bull semen which are often used in artificial insemination, such as Simmental, Limousine, Ongole Grade or Peranakan Ongole (PO), Brahman, and others. Thus, farmers have to select one of those suits to their needs. Research was conducted to collect data from 200 farmers as respondents who were selected by multistage random sampling in Grobogan, Sukoharjo, Karanganyar, Sragen, Klaten, Rembang, and Blora, Central Java. Results showed that farmers were more interested in breeding their cow with bull semen from Simmental and Limousin. An expected policy outcome can be considered in determining the supply of bull breed semen for artificial insemination in accordance to the demand of the farmers.
