Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the productivity of gayo buffalo at different body colors comprehensively based
on reproduction performance, to analyze the population structure of gayo buffalo, and evaluate the potential
development of gayo buffalo based on the availability of forage in approach of study to KPPR Value (the capacity of
ruminants population increasing) in Central Aceh District, Aceh Province.This research method used were the survey
and direct observation (interview with the structured questionnaire). This research used the primary data was 250
buffalo or 65 farmers as respondent, and the secoundary data used to analyze the reproduction performance of gayo
buffalo which was different body color, also used to analyze the potential development strategy of gayo buffalo. the
productivity performance of gayo buffalo were analyzed from BCS (Body ondition Scoring) value to estimate body
weight of gayo buffalo. The result showed that the reproduction performance closed to perfect, except the value of
calving interval. The average of BCS value of the different gayo buffaloâ€™s body color was found as <3, which the BCS
value of female gayo buffalo was smaller than male, at the older ages. The result showed that the body weight of the
female gayo buffalo in the different body color was higher balue than male, at the older group of ages. The result
showed that the KPPTR value of Bintang Regency was 5,295,66 ST, slightly higher than KPPTR value of Linge
Regency which was 5,212,99 ST
