EVALUASI PRODUKTIVITAS SAPI POTONG YANG DI IB BERDASARKAN NILAI SERVICE PER CONCEPTION DAN CONCEPTION RATE

One of the technologies commonly used in beef cattle breeding is artificial insemination technology. Efforts have been made to increase the population and improve the genetics of Bali cattle in Barru Regency, including the application of artificial insemination technology. The success of the artificial insemination program in Barru Regency requires objective and systematic evaluation to determine its level of achievement. Common methods used to measure the artificial insemination success rate are to examine the Service pers Conception (S/C) and Conception Rate (CR) values. The material used in this study came from farmers who raised Bali cattle and whose cattle had been inseminated by an inseminator.
