Summary

This video demonstrates the process of measuring various body dimensions of livestock, specifically a female Bali cow. The measurements are carried out using several tools, including a measuring stick, caliper, and tape measure. Key measurements include shoulder height, back height, body length, chest depth, and leg circumference, among others. The video provides clear instructions on how to accurately measure different parts of the cow’s body, with the goal of ensuring precise data for livestock assessment and management. The tutorial emphasizes proper technique and tool use for reliable results.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video demonstrates how to measure body dimensions of cattle, specifically Bali cows, using various measuring tools.
• 😀 Tools used for measurement include a measuring stick, a caliper, and a tape measure for accurate results.
• 😀 Qualitative measurements are taken for a female Bali cow with a brown coat.
• 😀 The first set of measurements includes: height at the withers, height at the back, body length, and chest depth using a measuring stick.
• 😀 Caliper measurements include: chest width, back width, hip width, pelvic bone width, and hip length.
• 😀 Tape measurements cover: body girth, ankle circumference, face length, and face width.
• 😀 Chest width is measured with a caliper from the widest part of the rib curve in the chest area.
• 😀 Back width is measured with a caliper from the protrusions of the hip joint on both the left and right sides.
• 😀 Hip width is measured using a caliper from the protrusions of the thigh bone on both sides.
• 😀 Girth measurement is taken at the rib bones just behind the front legs using a tape measure.
• 😀 The shoulder height is measured with a measuring stick from the ground to the highest point of the shoulder, not including the hump or scapula area.

Q & A

What are the primary tools used for measuring cattle in the video?

The primary tools used for measuring cattle in the video are a measuring stick (tongkat ukur), a caliper (jangka ukur), and a tape measure (pita ukur).

Which cow breed is being measured in the video?

The cow breed being measured in the video is the Bali cow, which is female and brown in color.

What does the measuring stick (tongkat ukur) measure?

The measuring stick is used to measure the shoulder height, back height, body length, and chest depth of the cow.

What measurements are taken using the caliper (jangka ukur)?

The caliper is used to measure the chest width, back width, pelvic width, bone width (tapis), and leg length.

How is the chest circumference measured in the video?

The chest circumference is measured using a tape measure, and the measurement is taken around the ribcage just behind the front legs.

What part of the cow is measured for the head length?

The head length is measured using a tape measure from the top of the head (center between the horns) to the premaxillary bone (the upper part of the muzzle).

How is the shoulder height of the cow measured?

The shoulder height is measured using the measuring stick, and the measurement is taken vertically from the ground to the highest point of the shoulder.

What does the video suggest to avoid when measuring the shoulder height?

When measuring the shoulder height, it is important to avoid measuring from the hump (gumba) or the back of the scapula bone; instead, measure at the midline of the front legs.

How is the pelvic width measured?

The pelvic width is measured using a caliper, with the measurement taken across the bony protrusions of the left and right sides of the pelvic area.

What is the importance of accurate measurement when evaluating cattle?

Accurate measurement is important for evaluating the physical characteristics and growth potential of cattle, which can impact breeding decisions, health assessments, and productivity evaluations.
