ABSTRACT
HENY VENSYE SAIYA. Acclimatization of Ongole Crossbred and Bali Cattle in
Response to Weather Changes in Merauke Papua. Under the supervision of
BAGUS P. PURWANTO, RUDY PRIYANTO and WASMEN MANALU
The objective of this study was to determine the physiological responses and
acclimatization of Ongole Crossbred (OC) cattle (Bos indicus) and bali cattle (Bos
javanicus) in response to weather changes in Merauke district. The experiment
was carried out in Wasur Village II, Merauke district. Eighteen OC cattle and 12
bali cattle, age ranged between 2-5 years were used. In the morning the cattle
were removed from the cage and placed in the ranch and in the evening were put
back into the cage. Meteorological data were recorded in the experiment
environment where cattles were located during 8 am until 4 pm, included dry
bulb temperature, wet bulb temperature, wind speed, and solar radiation. Relative
humidity (RH) and Temperature Humidity Index (THI) were calculated. The

physiological responses (rectal temperature, skin temerature, body temperature,
respiration rate, and pulse rate) of OC and bali cattles were monitored every 21
days on April and May. Data were analyzed using the repeated measurement
GLM procedure. Simple linear regression procedures was utilized to establish
acclimatization ability from each breed of cattle. The different weather between
west monsoon on April and east monsoon on May were showed that bali cattles
were able to maintain the physiological responses during monsoon changed.
Rectal temperature, skin temperature, and respiratory rate data indicated that bali
cattles acclimatization with east monsoon (P>0,05), while Ongole Crossbred
cattles that should acclimatization with weather changes (P
