Biplot Simulation to Determine the Growth Rate of Body Dimension in Local Bali Ducks

Abstract

Putu-Sampurna

Biplot simulation using factor analysis rotation promax kapa 90 was conducted to determine the growth rate of body dimension in female Bali duck of 0-16 week-old. The result of the biplot simulation showed that the body dimension of female Bali ducks that belongs to slow growth rate was in quadran II including the length of radius ulna, femur, tarsal and humerus. The body dimensions of female Bali ducks with the moderate growth rates were in quadrant I such as the length of carpal, chest circumference, body weight, the length necks, the length of digital 1 and the length of head. The body dimension with fast growth rate such as head circumference, neck circumference, abdominal circumference, and the length of digital 2, 3 and 4, and the length of tibia-fibula. Based on the ages, the coordinates distances in two dimension Eigen vector space were as follows. At the most distance position was at the age of 0-2 weeks, followed by the age of 2-4 weeks, and finally with closest distance was at the age of maturity.
