ABSTRACT
Increasing the population and productivity of dairy cows is one of the way to
boost national milk production capacity. This study was aimed to determine and
investigate the performance of milk production and reproduction of Friesian Holstein
(FH) dairy cows in the Working Area of KPBS Pangalengan, Bandung Regency. This
research used FH dairy cows with a complete milk production and reproduction record.
In total, there were 90 heads of cows in the Pangalengan District and 178 heads of cows
in the Kertasari District. This study used the survey method to collect the data. A
Multistage Random Sampling Method was used in this research. Sampling was carried
out in two stages, the first stage was sampling from two sub-district locations in
Pangalengan and Kertasari Districts. In the second stage, two villages were selected from
each district: Pangalengan and Margamukti Villages in Pangalengan District, and Santosa
and Tarumajaya Villages in Kertasari District. Farmers and their cows were chosen by
simple random sampling. Data on milk production and reproduction records were
obtained from farmers and their cows through direct observation and interviews related
to the identity of the cattle they owned. The results showed that the average performance
of the milk production characteristics of FH dairy cows was: an average milk production
of 3779.2±497.48 liters/head/day, an average length of lactation of 307.8±31.30 days, and
an average dry period of 72.14±21.43 days. The lactation period had a significant effect
(P<0.05) on milk production. The peak of milk production was reached in the fourth
lactation period. The mean of reproductive traits consisting of the first postpartum mating
was 77±20.5 days, the average length of days open was 96±26.4 days, the average number
of services per conception was 1.8±0.85 times, and the average calving interval was
381.05± 24.5 days. In conclusion, FH dairy cows raised in Pangalengan and Margamukti
Villages, Pangalengan District, Santosa and Tarumajaya Village, Kertasari District, in the
working area of Pangalengan KPBS during the Covid-19 pandemic indicated a fairly good
performance of milk production and reproduction characteristics.
