Abstract

The study aimed to examine the effect of fasting on weight loss and percentage of carcasses of Bali cattle. The study was designed in a randomized block design, where the pre-deduction is consisted of without fasting (P0), fasting 12 hours (P1), fasting time 18 hours (P2), and fasting time 24 hours (P3). Life weight grouping. The results showed that: 1) fasting time before cutting significantly affected the weight loss of Bali cattle. The longer the fasting time, the greater the weight loss of life, (2) the fasting time to 24 hours does not affect the percentage of carcass and percentage of carcass. It can be concluded that the longer the fasting time of Bali cattle, the greater the decrease in life weight, but no significant effect on the percentage of carcass and percentage of carcass.
