Abstract

Ongole Crossbreed Cattle (PO) or, Javanese cattle or white cattle are one of the most widely cultivated native or local cattle breeds in Indonesia. The population is concentrated mainly on the island of Java. Body weight and body posture are the primary considerations for Indonesian breeders in cattle production, especially PO cattle. Therefore, paying attention to body weight and body posture from the beginning of the calf's growth after birth is essential. For this reason, this research was conducted to examine the relationship between maternal body weight and birth weight of PO cow calves. The study was conducted in Napis village, Tambakrejo subdistrict, Bojonegoro district. This research used a correlation analysis method with primary data obtained from interviews with respondents and direct measurements of the body weight of the mother who gave birth to the calf and the birth weight of the calf. The results showed that the average body weight of the mothers was 340,42±49,31 kg with an average age of 77.89±34.64 months, and the average birth weight of the calves was 18.06±3.09 kg. There is a correlation between an increase in the mother's body weight of 1 kg and an increase in the calf's birth weight of 0.575 kg, as this research conclusion.
