Abstract
Pesisir cattle are native Indonesian germplasm living in the coastal areas of West Sumatera. Pesisir cattle population was to decline from year to year. This research aims to examine the technical aspects of the maintenance of pesisir cattle in several regions in West Sumatera to maintain the existence of this native Indonesian beef cattle. The research method used is a survey. The research location was determined based on the distribution of Pesisir cattle in several regions in West Sumatera, namely Pesisir Selatan Regency, Pasaman Barat Regency, Padang Pariaman Regency, Agam Regency and Padang City. Data analysis was done by tabulation and scoring in accordance with the Guidelines for Animal Husbandry Technical Aspects of the Directorate General of Animal Husbandry in 1992. The results showed that the technical maintenance of Pesisir cattle in Pesisir Selatan District, Pasaman Barat Regency, Padang Pariaman Regency, Agam Regency and Padang City were in the less category with scoring scores averaged 43,34%. This shows that Pesisir cattle breeding techniques in West Sumatera still need to be considered so that the native Indonesian cattle population can continue to grow.
