Abstract
This study aims to determine the Quantitative and Qualitative Characteristic Broodstock of Thin-Tailed Sheep (DET) and Fat-Tailed Sheep (DEG). The study starts from first August 2023 until first December 2023 in PT Juara Agroniaga Sejahtera, Jepangrejo Village, Blora City District, Blora Regency. The material used in this study was 39 Thin-tailed Sheep and 28 Fat-tailed Sheep aged 1-2 years. The variables measured where Quantitative data were body height (BH), body length (BL), chest circumference (CC), body weight (BW), and Qualitative data were fur color and horn. Data were analysis using the pearson correlation, and regression method. The results of this study showed that the correlation between body height (BH), body length (BL), chest circumference (CC) with body weight (BW) in DET and DEG were 0.62 kg, 0.71 kg, 0.72 kg, 0.27 kg, 0.69 kg, 0.65 kg respectively. The results of this study showed that the regression between body height (BH), body length (BL), chest circumference (CC) with body weight (BW) in DET and DEG were BW = negative 14.03 approximately 0.71 BH, BW = negative 15.45 approximately 0.74 BL, BW = negative 21.95 approximately 0.65 CC and BW = 8.69 approximately 0.33 BH, BW = negative 6.76 approximately 0.59 BL, BW = negative 19.43 approximately 0.65 CC respectively. The results of this study showed that the dominant wool color pattern of DET is single white, 74.36% white, 15.38% black and 5.13% brown and DEG is single white, 67.86% white, 14.29% black and 7.14% brown. DET was 2.56% with horn then 97.44% without horn and DEG is 100% without horn.
