REPRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF BEEF CATTLE IN BINTAUNA DISTRICT OF NORTH BOLAANG MONGONDOW REGENCY. This study was conducted to evaluate the reproduction performance of beef cattle in Bintauna district of North Bolaang Mongondow regency. Reproductive performance was studied to determine the productivity of livestock especially in population increase and availability of meat. This research used samples of farmer as breeder of beef cattle. The selections of village samples were determined purposively by consideration of the villages with the largest population of livestock including the villages of Pimpi, Kopi, and Bintauna. Selection of respondents using random sampling method involved 10 farmers for each selected village, with the total of 30 farmers as respondents. Data of the variables were analyzed using descriptive analysis model. The results showed that the age of puberty animal was 12.03 ± 4.81 months, service per conception was 1.19, conception rate was 73%, pregnancy period was 276 ± 2.53 days, and calving interval was 366 ± 3.21 days.

“…The study showed that buffaloes could reproduce for the first time on average at the age of 27 months or 2.3 years, giving birth for the first time at 3.23 years, first estrus at 88.33 days after giving birth, have a calving interval of 14 months, and it takes 9.07 months to wean a calf (Muhakka et al 2018). Meanwhile, cows have a productive time span for reproduction at an average age of 9-20 months with a gestation period ranging from 276.17 days (Pohontu et al 2018). This means that buffaloes have a longer duration of time to reproduce than cows.…”
