Abstract

Principal component analysis (PCA) is important for describing the body conformation in livestock. Total of seven body measurements and thirteen body indices parameters from 144 heads of Pasundan cow (average 3 years age) at West Java Province of Indonesia were used in this study for PCA analysis. The body measurements in this study consisted of withers height (WH), body length (BL), chest girth (CG), chest width (CW), rump height (RH), rump width (RW) and rump length (RL). Therefore the body indices in this study consisted of height slope (HS), width slope (WS), body index (BI), area index (AI), rump length index (RLI), conformation index (CI), length index (LI), body ratio (BR), proportionality (Pr), thoracic development (TD), pelvic index (PI), transverse pelvic (TP) and longitudinal pelvic (LP). The highest of Pearson’s coefficient of correlations (r) value in body measurements was showed between WH and RH (0.93). Hence, the highest r value in body indices was showed between WS and TP (0.86). The PCA for body measurements and body measurements was revealed two factors of PC1 (WH, BL, RH) and PC2 (CG, CW, RW, RL) that explained about 73.36% of the total variation. Meanwhile, the PCA for body indices was revealed four factors of PC1 (BI, AI, RLI, LI, Pr, LP), PC2 (CI, TD), PC3 (WS, PI, TP) and PC4 (HS, BR) that explained about 89.38% of the total variation. It was concluded that the seven body measurements is important for describing body conformation of Pasundan cows such as body size (PC1) and body shape (PC2).
