ABSTRACT
Central Kalimantan is one of the province passed by equator line. The temperature is
relatively hot, during the day time is 32 oC and 23 oC during night time. The average rainfall
index is 1900-3100 mm per year. This province has remarkably wide peatland area with
strong acidity, high organic matter, and low fertility for plant cultivation. Various existing
vegetation can be used as feed. Goats are able to utilize many type of grasses, leaves and tree
bark. They have high ability to adapt various environments and eat many type of plants. Due
to their browsing ability, goats can utilize tall bushes. The objective of this experiment was to
study grazing behaviour of Crossed Local goats. The Pattern of grazing behaviour of goats
can be used as a basis for managing animals and range land on the peatland areas. The
experiment used 5 male goats aged 8-12 months and 5 females aged 10-24 months. Recording
methode used One Zero with 15 minutes intervals. Data were analysed using Comparison of
Two Samples or t-Test (t student) at level 5%. Result of research indicated that the goat
activity in day time (09.00-16.00) was dominated by grazing activity (male 66,28%, female
60,82%). The goats spent more time for eating in the morning and evening (09.00-10.00 and
13.00-16.00). Grazing rumination and resting activities during investigation between male and
female were not significantly different. Browsing is the most activity observed compared to
other activities. Crop types are diverse in peatland areas. The result show that sasendok
vegetation (Plantago mayor), Delingu (Dianella ensifolia sp.) and Kelakai (Stenochlaena
palustris) were the most preferred vegetation by the goats on the peatland areas.
Key words: grazing behaviour, Crossed Local goats, peatland
