MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF BREEDING BULLS AT THE SINGOSARI NATIONAL ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION CENTER (BBIB SINGOSARI), INDONESIA

Abstrak

The Field Work Practice at the Singosari National Artificial Insemination Center (BBIB Singosari) was conducted to examine the management system of health, reproduction, and semen quality control of breeding bulls to support production efficiency and genetic improvement. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of livestock management at BBIB Singosari, including animal health, barn sanitation, disease prevention, and waste and environmental management. The methods used involved direct observation, interviews with technical staff, document analysis, and assessment of the management system applied in the field. Data were analyzed descriptively and compared with national and international standards for breeding bull management. The results indicated that BBIB Singosari has implemented regular health examinations, quarantine systems, sanitation control, and reproductive monitoring technologies to maintain bull performance. Waste management was generally well-executed, although improvements in drainage systems and organic waste utilization are still required. Overall, livestock management at BBIB Singosari is considered effective in supporting the success of artificial insemination programs and improving cattle genetic quality, with potential development toward more sustainable livestock management practices. / 1
