ABSTRAK
Penelitian bobot badan dan ukuran tubuh dua galur ayam dewasa telah dilaksanakan di Balai Penelitian Ternak Ciawi-Bogor pada tanggal 1 – 5 Agustus 2013. Penelitian ini bertujuan mendapatkan informasi bobot badan dan ukuran-ukuran tubuh ayam dewasa galur Abu dan galur Putih serta mengetahui perbedaan keduanya dalam rangka memperkaya informasi teknis dalam menunjang pelestarian plasma nutfah ayam asli Indonesia. Metode penelitian yg digunakan adalah deskriptif dengan mengambil sampel dua galur ayam Sentul generasi ketiga (Sensi-G3) yaitu galur Abu dan galur Putih hasil seleksi bobot badan umur 10 minggu di Balai Penelitian Ternak Ciawi-Bogor. Jumlah ayam jantan dewasa galur Abu dan galur Putih yang digunakan masing-masing sebanyak 20 ekor, sedangkan jumlah betina dewasa untuk masing-masing galur yang digunakan sebanyak 30 ekor. Rata-rata umur ayam yang digunakan adalah 644 hari (92 minggu). Peubah yang diamati adalah bobot badan (BB), panjang dada (PD), lingkar dada (LD), panjang paha atas (PPA) (os femur), panjang paha bawah (PPB) (os. tibia), dan panjang shank (PSh) (os. metatarsus). Berdasarkan hasil penelitian maka diambil kesimpulan bahwa performa antara galur ayam Sentul Abu dan Sentul Putih (jantan dan betina) memiliki kesamaan pada bobot badan dan ukuran-ukuran tubuh, kecuali pada bagian paha atas dan paha bawah jenis kelamin betina (pada Sentul Abu paha atas 9,23 cm dan paha bawah 12,7 cm, sedangkan pada Sentul Putih paha atas 10,08 cm dan paha bawah 12,0 cm).
