Respon Fisiologis Harian Sapi Madura Jantan Yang Diberi Pakan Dengan Kuantitas Berbeda (Daily Physiological Response of Madura Bull Fed of Different Feeding Level)

The purpose of this research was to determine the effect of different level intake of feeding on daily physiological response of Madura cattle. Materials used in this research were 12 heads of male Madura cattle with average initial body weight 143.4 ± 10.21 kg (CV= 7.11%). The research was arranged based on Completely Randomizes Design with 3 treatments and 4 replications. The cattle was fed based on dry matter intake consisted of napier grass (30%) and consentrate (70%), with three level of feeding i.e. 1.8% BW (T1), 2.7% BW (T2), and 3.6% BW (T3). Parameters observed were dry matter intake (DMI), physiological condition of livestock including breathing frequency, pulse frequency, and rectal temperature. The result showed that pulse frequency of T1 (77) was lower (P<0.01) than of T2 (90) and T3 (92). Respon of rectal temperature of T1 (38.1 oC) was similar to T3 (38.5 oC), but both was higher (P<0.05) than T2 (38.1 oC). The breathing frequency among the treatments were different (P<0.05), being 18 and 26 for T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The research concluded that increasing level of feeding up to 2.7% BW influenced physiological daily responses in Madura bull
