Abstract

This study observed the carcass and non-carcass percentage of Bligon goats slaughtered with differentages and weights at Bantul slaughterhouse. The research was observed 64 male Bligon goats of differentslaughter ages and weights. The data consists of percentages of carcass and non-carcass components (skin,legs, head, liver, lungs, heart, digestive tract, and blood). Data were analyzed using a completely randomizeddesign of factorial (3x3), three groups of age (< 1 year, 1-1.5 years, and 1.5-2 years) and three groups ofslaughter weight (SW1=11-15 kg, SW2= 16-20 kg, and SW3= 21-25 kg). The results showed that the carcasspercentage of Bligon goats was 43.44%, while percentages of skin, legs, head, heart, liver, lungs, digestivetract and blood were 7.01%; 2.84%; 7.41%; 0.56%; 2.12%; 1.36%; 7.98% and 2.83%, respectively. Differentages did not significantly affect carcass, skin, legs, heart, liver, lungs, digestive tract, and blood percentages.Age was significantly influenced (P<0.05) the percentages of the head. Slaughter weight was significantlyinfluenced (P<0.05) the percentages of carcass, skin, legs, head, heart, digestive tract, and blood, but it doesnot significantly affect liver and lung percentages. It was concluded that the percentage of carcass, skin,legs, heart, liver, lungs, digestive tract, and blood in Bligon goat at different slaughter ages was the same.The lower the slaughter weight of the Bligon goat resulted in a higher percentage of carcass, skin, legs,head, heart, digestive tract, and blood.
