| description | In recent year, there is a tendency that farmers prefer to keep Etawah grade goat with
black head color instead of brown or mixed colors, therefore the study was conducted to identify the
farmers’ perception in regard with the effect of hair color differences on the productivity of Etawah
grade goats. Sixty farmers were interviewed deeply on their perception using a semi structured
questionnaire; farmers were selected randomly from two districts, Sleman and Kulonprogo, which
have been known as the centre of Etawah grade goats in Yogyakarta Province. The interviews
were conducted for three months using “door to door” method, including farmers characteristics,
the reason to select different hair color, mating systems, the kid produced, the price of goats based
on different hair color, and the effect of different hair color on feed intake and productivity. Data
was tabulated and analyzed descriptively. The result indicated that the majority reason of farmers
kept the specific hair color of goats due to the expensive prices (40.00%), excellence exterior
characteristics (38.33%), and a few farmers stated that they select different hair color because the
goats had high performance, i.e. high milk production (13.33%) and rapid growth rate (8.33%).
Farmers mostly (85.00%) mated their Etawah grade doe using a buck which has the same color
with the doe, while the rest (15.0%) mated their doe sometimes with different hair color of buck. In
addition, farmers also believed that the kids will have the same colors with their parents (76.67%),
however, some of 23.33% farmers had experience that mating between doe and buck which has
the same color will not automatically produce kid with the same hair color. The difference hair
color betwen the kids and their parents was found relatively small, less than 25%. There was a
significant differences of price between black head color hair and brown or mixed color acoding
to more than 86% farmers, the different price approximately IDR 399,000,00, The different price
of goats seem to be based on their excellent exterior characteristic (66.67%) and high demand
(21.67%) rather than high milk production (6.67%) and rapid growth rate (5.00%). Majority of
farmers did not agree (68.33%) and only a few farmers (21.67%) stated that productivity was
related to diferent hair color, while 10% of the farmers did not know whether it will affect the
productivity or not. It can be concluded that expensive prices and exterior characteristics was
the main reason for the farmer to select and keep Etawah grade goats. Kids produced will not
automatically have similar color with their parent. Farmers believed that color differences will not
have impact on the productivity of goats, however goats with black head color remain have the
most expensive price for excellent exterior performance reason. |
