Abstract

Cattle twin birth is a rare occurrence that might be due to two factors, natural factors or external interventions such as the use of hormones. This study was aimed to determine to what extent Bali cattle were potential to deliver twin birth. Natural twin birth observation was conducted by survey method and data service while for super ovulation was conducted on 6 cows that never gave birth to twins. The Intervention method used a variety of hormonal preparations started with installing CIDR implant on day 1 to day 7 of CIDR removal of the implant, injecting 1 cc of GnRH hormone injections intra-muscular on day 9, injecting 800 mg intra-muscular PMSG on day 20, injecting 2 cc PGF2alpha intra-muscular on day 22, then conducting artificial insemination after lust symptoms appeared after day 24 applicated 3 times. Control treatments were applied on 6 cattle without hormone injection. Data were analyzed descriptively. The survey data showed Bali cattle twin birth in Bali Island was 64 heads of parent population in Bali from a total of 203,727 breeding or 31.9%, but cattle with hormone manipulation delivered 30% of the total treatment although no previous twin birth history was recorded. Conclusively, manipulation of external stimuli such as hormones gained good response although no genetic ever gave birth to twins.Sapi lahir kembar adalah kejadian langka yang mungkin disebabkan karena dua faktor, faktor alam atau intervensi eksternal seperti penggunaan hormon.
