Pigs are a livestock commodity with great potential for meat production due to their superior characteristics and capabilities. The percentage of organ weight and abdominal fat thickness of Balinese and Landrace pigs needs to be known to determine the most suitable pig breed for babi guling (Balinese roast pig). This study used an observational study design based on primary data on the weight of internal organs and abdominal fat thickness of pigs. The samples used included 32 hearts, 32 pairs of lungs, 32 livers, 32 spleens, 32 pairs of kidneys, 32 kidney fat, and 32 abdominal fat. Samples were taken from 32 pigs, consisting of 16 Bali pigs and 16 Landrace pigs. Sampling was carried out 16 times. The objective method used was quantitative descriptive, which presents data in the form of percentages, means, and standard deviations. This study concluded that the percentage of organ weight in Bali pigs is: heart 0.32%, lungs 0.89%, liver 1.79%, spleen 0.13%, kidney 0.27%, and kidney fat 0.12% of the live weight of Bali pigs. For Landrace pigs, the percentages are: heart 0.30%, lungs 0.83%, liver 1.88%, spleen 0.16%, kidney 0.36%, and kidney fat 0.15% of the live weight of Landrace pigs. The total thickness of abdominal fat in Bali pigs is 33 cm, while in Landrace pigs, the thickness is 28.9 cm. The fat content of Bali pig meat is significantly higher than that of Landrace pig meat. It is recommended that further research investigate the internal organs and abdominal fat in Balinese and Landrace pigs in more detail.
