Abstract :Objective: The aim of this study was carried out to obtain the discriminant variables between Pasundan and Ongole bulls through morphometrical measurements. Materials and Methods: Six morphometric traits of chest girth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CG);, withers height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WH);, body length insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(BL);, chest depth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CD);, hip height insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(HH); and rump width insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RW); were performed in this study. Total of 110 bulls insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(72 Pasundan and 38 Ongole); from West Java Province of Indonesia were used in this study. Results: The stepwise discriminant analysis showed that three morphometrical measurements of CG, BL and CD had strong discriminating power to characterize of both breeds. The discriminant function obtained correctly classified 87.5% for Pasundan and 100% for Ongole insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(with canonical correlation of 0.81);.
