The bioacoustics analysis and the morphometrics study of the gaga's chicken (Ayam Ketawa) from Pinrang and Kebayoran Lama

摘要

The objective of present study is to compare the characteristic of the Gaga's chicken based on morphometric and bioacoustics analysis. According to the crowing sound, so, there were two types of Gaga's chicken were found such as, 'slow' type and "dangdut type", respectively. Twenty samples were collected from Pinrang, South Sulawesi whereas the rest of seven samples were collected from Kebayoran Lama, Southern Jakarta, respectively. The body weight of the "slow type" from Pinrang was heavier (1983.53±407.55 g) than Kebayoran Lama (1620±630.77 g). The similar result was also showed the body weight of the "dangdut type" from Kebayoran Lama was lighter (1716.67±246.64 g) than from Pinrang (1872±494.69 g). Based on bioacoustic analysis the beats of "slow type" were 3-5 times whereas the beats of "dangdut type" were 4-7times.
