Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui perbedaan tingkah laku kambing Peranakan Etawah (PE) pada kebuntingan awal dan akhir. Penelitian menggunakan 6 ekor kambing PE dalam kondisi bunting awal dan bunting akhir. Metode yang digunakan adalah pengamatan langsung pada ternak selama kebuntingan awal dan akhir. Ternak diamati selama 24 jam. Data yang diamati meliputi kegiatan makan, kegiatan ruminasi, kegiatan berdiri, kegiatan berbaring, dan kegiatan urinasi dan defekasi. Data tingkah laku kambing di analisis menggunakan uji T-test. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa temperatur dan kelembaban kandang berkisar antara 25 sampai 310C dan 65 sampai 90%. Hasil penelitian berbeda nyata terlihat pada kegiatan frekuensi makan (17,11dan13,61kali/hari), dan rerata sekali makan (10,24dan 12,88menit). Lama berdiri (15,05dan 11,45jam/kali). Lama berbaring (9,01dan 12,54jam/hari), rerata sekali berbaring (31,32dan 47,89 menit). Frekuensi urinasi (6,56dan 9,55 kali). Frekuensi urinasi tertinggi terjadi pada kambing dalam kondisi bunting akhir. Disimpulkan bahwa Kambing Peranakan Etawah pada saat kebuntingan awal dan akhir mempunyai tingkah laku yang berbeda, terutama pada frekuensi makan, rerata sekali makan, lama berdiri, lama dan rerata sekali berbaring, dan frekuensi urinasi.

The data observed were consisted of activities including time and frequency of feeding, ruminating, standing, lying, urinating and defecating.Data behavior of goats were analysed using T-test. The results showed that the temperature and humidity of the study rangedfrom 25 to 310C and 65 to 90%, respectively. There were a significantly differenceson the behavior of early and late pregnancy of Etawah Grade does, in terms of frequency of feeding (17.11and 13.61 times/day), and average in once feeding (10.24and 12.88 minutes), standing duration (15.05and 11.45 hours/day), laying duration (9.01and 12.54hours/day), average in once laying (31.32and 47.89 minutes), and frequency of urination (6.56 and 9.55 times).The highest frequency of urination occured in late pregnancy goat. The conclusion of the study is the Etawah Grade does during early pregnancy and late pregnancy has different behaviour, especially on the frequency of feeding, average on once feeding, standing duration, time and average of once lying, and frequency of urination.
