【 摘 要 】

This study was undertaken to compare body dimensions between primiparous Bali cattle that were supplemented with concentrate or no concentrate at their first three month of pregnancy reared by smallholder farmers in Petang, Badung, Bali Province. Twenty primiparous Bali cattle that were fed with forage divided into two groups i.e. supplemented with concentrate (Rwc) and no concentrate (Rnc) from May to July 2018 using Completely Randomized Design. Body weight, body length, chest circumference, height at withers and rump width were measured every fortnight. Results showed that ADG of primiparous Bali cattle (Rwc) were significantly heavier (P2=0.911, between chest circumference and body weight R2=0.648 and between body length and body weight R2=0.591. In summary, it is strongly suggested to feed concentrate particularly at the first three month of pregnancy of primiparous Bali cattle.
