Abstract
One of the problems that exist in the community is the lack of identification of the reproductive performance of prospective brooders of Bali cattle that are artificially inseminated. The researcher conducted a research to determine the reproductive performance of Bali Cattle inseminated with Brahman Cattle Semen in SECP (Special Effort for Cows to be Pregnant Program) Program in Kolaka Regency. The parameters observed in this study were; artificial insemination's first age (Years), How many times the artificial insemination (AI) was pregnant (S/C), Length of pregnancy (months), Calving Interval (CI) (months), Birth weight (Kilograms), Correlation of AI's first age with birth weight. Sources of date used in this study are primary and secondary data. Data collection techniques carried out in this study were observation and interviews. The date obtained was analyzed descriptively, analysis of variance, average, and to calculate the relationship between variables was analyzed by correlation. Reproductive performance of Bali Cattle inseminated with Brahman Cattle Semen in SECP Program in Kolaka district include; first age AI 23.63±1.99 months, Service per Conception (S/C) 1.56±0.55, gestational age 9.03±0.38 months, Calving Interval (CI) 12.24±0 .52 months, birth weight 27.85 ± 2.96 and the correlation between AI prime age and birth spacing was 0.77.
Highlights
Food products of animal origin as one of the most basic needs, the food needs to get attention from the aspect of availability (Syakir, 2015)

Summary
Food products of animal origin as one of the most basic needs, the food needs to get attention from the aspect of availability (Syakir, 2015). Special Effort for Cows to be Pregnant Program (SECP) is one of the government's efforts to accelerate the increase in the population of beef cattle sustainability. According to Direktorat Jenderal Peternakan dan Kesehatan Hewan (2017), SECP is an integrated activity to accelerate the increase in cattle population in a sustainable manner. One of the efforts that can be taken to increase the production of meat and calves is to improve the genetic quality of livestock with the SECP program with Artificial Insemination (AI). The male semen used by inseminators in Kolaka district generally uses Brahman cattle, so that the provision of superior broodstock for Bali cattle needs to be considered Based on this background, the researchers conducted research to determine the reproductive performance of Bali cattle inseminated with Brahman cattle semen in the SECP Program in Kolaka district.
