The research was conducted to know growth estimation of Madura and Limousin cross Madura
(Limura) cattle on Pamekasan district, East Java Province, Indonesia. Samples for the research
were 99 Madura cattle and 63 Limura cattle which both divided into two groups (1-2 years and
3-4 years). Sampling method were purposive sampling that directly come to the farmers who
hold those cattle. Body measurement was analyzed by t-test. The result showed that body
measurement of Limura cattle was higher than that of Madura cattle. Body measurement of
Limura cattle for first group (1-2 years): body lenght were 116.90 ± 12.75 cm, heart girth
were 149.64 ± 16.13 cm, withers height were 118.40 ± 9.05 cm, height at hip were 121.19 ±
8.74 cm. Body measurement of Limura cattle for second group (3-4 years): body lenght were
130.62 ± 10.61 cm, heart girth were 165.86 ±14.68 cm, withers height were 127.67 ± 9.09 cm,
height at hip were 129.24 ± 8,77. While body measurement of Madura cattle for first group
(1-2 years): 108.37 ± 11.85 cm, heart girth were 137.21 ± 15.41 cm, withers height were
115.45 ± 9.83 cm, height at hip were 113.19 ± 8.02 cm. Body measurement of Madura cattle
for second group (3-4 years): body lenght were 121.19 ± 10.62 cm, heart girth were 151.97 ±
16.14 cm, withers height were 122.21 ± 9.16 cm, height at hip were 118.26 ± 7.88 cm.
Conclusion, growth estimation of Limousin cross Madura cattle was greater than that of
Madura cattle. Body measurement of Madura cattle has increased but can not reach of body
measurement according to criteria of Standar Bibit Nasional in 1982.
Key Words: Growth estimation, Madura cattle, Limousin cross madura cattle,

INTRODUCTION
Madura cattle is one of the Indonesian cattle breed that has been popular in Madura island
especially in traditional activity, like “Karapan Sapi” (bull racing). Madura cattle spread over
several regions in Indonesia such as Madura Island (Bangkalan district, Sampang district,
Pamekasan district, Sumenep district), East Java, the Sapudi Island, West Kalimantan, Aceh,
Central Java, East Nusa Tenggara, Lampung, West Sumatra, West Java, South Sulawesi,
South Sumatra, Central Kalimantan, North Sumatra, West Nusa Tenggara, South Kalimantan,
Jambi, Yogyakarta and North Sulawesi (Soehadji, 1992 cit Gunawan, 1993). Madura cattle
are local cattle in Indonesia which has demonstrated a uniform shape. Farmer in Madura
island used two breed of beef cattle i.e Madura and Limura cattle. Limura cattle is crossbred
cattle between Limousin bull and Madura dam by artificial insemination (AI). The purpose of
the crosses program was to increase the the performance of the local cattle. Limura cattle
spread on several region in Madura island i.e Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan and Sumenep
district. Population of Madura cattle on 2010 and 2011 was 7272 cattle and 7609 cattle
respectively while Limura cattle was 117508 cattle and 119905 cattle respectively. Growth
percentage of Madura and Limura cattle was 1% and 2.26% per year respectively (Anonymus,
2011).
Growth trait is one of most important trait in breeding cattle in Indonesia. Meaning of growth
was size change i.e weight change, shape, linear dimension and body composition (Lawrie,

1998; Soeparno, 1998). The growth of the calf is perhaps the most important factor for meat
productivity in production systems (Corrêa et al., 2006). Body measurements of beef cattle
are used for several purposes, including prediction of growth rate, body condition,
conformation and carcass traits (Brown et al., 1973; Doren et al., 1989; Wilson et al., 1997).
The process of growth experienced by cattle was started from the beginning until the moment
of conception until the calf was born and continues until it reaches mature. Growth rate was
controlled by environmental conditions that cause sigmoid curve of cattle growth. The growth
of Madura and Limura cattle in various age groups is important to be observed. One of the
ways to estimate the growth so that got a general description of the growth estimate of
Madura and Limura cattle. Data of growth estimate can be used to evaluate the growth of
Madura and Limura cattle in Madura Island. The purpose of this study to obtain a growth
estimate of Madura and Limura cattle as additional information about the Indonesian local
cattle.
MATERIAL AND METHOD
The research was conducted in the small holder at Pamekasan district, East Java Province,
Indonesia on March 2012. Sample of the research is divided into two groups i.e 1-2 years and
3-4 years. The first group (1-2 years) of Madura and Limura cattle was 56 and 42 head,
respectively. The second group (3-4 years) of Madura and Limura cattle was 43 and 21 head,
respectively. Sampling method to collect the sample used purposive sampling (direct to
farmer).
Growth estimation of Madura and Limura cattle
Growth estimation of Madura and Limura cattle was obtained by body measurement. The
body size data included: body length, heart girth, withers height and height at hip. The body
length (absolut) was the straight distance that measured between Tuberculum lateralis to
Tuberculum ischiadicum. Heart girth is the length of the circular (the circumference) as
measured on chest that right in the back of withers on the rib (costae) 3-4. Height of withers is
straight distance from the plane to the highest point in withers. Height at hip was obtained by
measuring the distance from the plane until the highest point of the hip. Data of body
measurement was taken with parallelogram (Figure 1).

Statistic Analysis
Growth estimation of Madura and Limura cattle was determined by t-test analysis. Data is
presented in average and standard of deviation.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION
The following are the results of statistical analysis of body measurement of Madura and
Limura cattle in first group (1-2 years) and second group (3-4 years) which presented in

Based on statistical analysis showed that body measurement between Madura and Limura
cattle is significantly different (P<0.05) in first group (1-2 years) and second group (3-4
years). Body measurement of Limura cattle was higher than that of Madura cattle. This is
presumably because of the Limura cattle have a part of genetic of Limousin breed where
Limousin breed was categorized as large weight groups of livestock. The growth rate of large
type cattle was faster than that of small type acttle. Similar results were also obtained by
Hartatik et al. (2009) where the body measurement of Limousin-Madura cattle is greater than
that Madura cattle.
In generally, body measurement of Madura cattle for first group (1-2 years) in this research is
greater than body measurement of Madura cattle which is reported by Siregar et al., 1985 and
Aisyah, 2000. Those previous research shows that body length (107.80±10.40 cm for males
and 106.0 ± 12.50 cm for females), heart girth (132.70 ± 127.50 cm for males and 127.50 ±
12.20 cm for females), withers height (108.80 ± 8.30 cm for males and 106.0 ± 7.30 cm for
females) and body length (111.59 ± 8.39 cm for males and 109.08 ± 7.52 cm for females),
heart girth (128.91 ± 11.80 cm for males and 129.72 ± 12.25 cm for females), withers height
(102.23 ± 9.31cm for males and 102.48 ± 11.88 cm for females), respectively.
Body measurement in this research was lower than Standar Bibit Nasional (Direktorat Jendral
Peternakan, (1982) cit Aisyah, 2000) where in Standar Bibit Nasional had body length (126
cm for males and 116 cm for females), heart girth (156 cm for males and 146 cm for females),
and withers height (110 cm for males and 105 cm for females). Body measurement of Madura

cattle in Pamekasan district can not reach of body measurement according to criteria of
Standar Bibit Nasional in 1982. Body measurement of Madura cattle can be increased by
genetic improvement (selection and arrangement of mating), improving the quality of feed,
healthy, and maintenance management.
In conclusion, body measurement of Limousin cross Madura cattle in first group (1-2 years)
and second group (3-4 years) is greater than that of Madura cattle. Body measurement of
Madura cattle has increased but it can not reach of body measurement according to criteria of
Standar Bibit Nasional in 1982.
