Abstract
ABSTRACT. Gayo Lues Regency, Aceh Province is a very potential area for the development of buffalo. This study aims to determine the application of technical aspects of buffalo breeding in Gayo Lues which is expected to be a reference for local governments regarding genetic quality improvement of Gayo buffalo conservation programs to maintain population growth of one of the national germplasms. This research was conducted in Gayo Lues Regency covering two sub-districts, Blangkejeren and Dabun Gelang. This study uses a qualitative method by conducting a simple random sampling survey of 54 buffalo farmers. The number of samples was determined by the Slovin formula, the criteria for breeders to maintain at least 5 buffaloes. The research data is processed by calculating the percentage and then compared with the standard by Minister of Agriculture Regulation (2006). The results showed that the score of the application of the technical aspects of keeping buffaloes obtained in Gayo Lues was 55.96% including the application of the technical aspects of breeding and reproduction 62.39%, food 41.47%, maintenance management 57.20%, health 61, 71% and housing 73.40%. It can be concluded that the implementation of technical aspects of buffalo maintenance in Gayo Lues Regency is still not good enough.
