Abstract

Eighteen male 0-12 months old local sheep was used in this study for determining the growth performance of Indonesian local sheep in rural are, namely growth rate, body weight and age at reaching puberty and maturity. Regression-correlation analysis was used to obtain the
growth curve. The results showed that dry matter intake of the local sheep in rural area was limited, and only giving the daily body weight gain of 57.86 g. The growth curve of local
sheep showed the puberty was reached at age of 6 m.o. or at body weight of 17.70 kg, while maturity was reached at 12 m.o. or at BW 31 kg.
