Abstract

Demand for duck eggs and meat recently increased along with the increasing interest of the community to consume duck eggs and meat. Due to that reason researcher try to find the best way to enhance the reproductive ability of livestock., which is in this research by laser puncture shot. Eighteen ducks were allocated into three groups, the control group, the first treatment group with laserpuncture shoot dose of 0.2 Joule (J), and the second treatment group with laser puncture shoot dose of 0.4 J. Data were analyzed with ANOVA and further tested by Duncan multiple range test. Research result showed that laser puncture shoot with a dose of 0.2 J and 0.4 J decreased the number of Sertoli and Leydig cells. Keywords: Mojosari duck; laser acupuncture; Sertoli cells; Leydig cells

Highlights

  • Food is a critical issue currently faced by all countries in the world

  • Histological slide assessment on Leydig and Sertoli cells was carried out to observe the effect of laser acupuncture shoot on the reproductive point of Mojosari male duck

  • Leydig and Sertoli cells analysis showed significant difference which means that the laser acupuncture shoot gives a significant result (p

Summary

Introduction

Food is a critical issue currently faced by all countries in the world. In 2013 commotion occurred in the Indonesian market regarding the price of meat, especially beef. “Effect of Laser Acupuncture Shoot on Ova Point of Male Mojosari Duck (Anas plathyrhynchos) on The Number of Sertoli and Leydig Cells” in The Page 650. Public interest in consuming duck meat is almost equivalent to those of in chicken meat. This increasing demand needs to be balanced with the provision of the quality of seedlings duck in quantity and sustainability. To achieve the above objectives, the laser is fired at the points associated with the organ that serves to health, balance, production, and reproduction in livestock [5]. It was expected that stimulating the same point in male ducks would give the same effect that eventually might contribute in fulfilling the need for duck breeding stock. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of laser puncture at ova point on the number of Sertoli and Leydig cells
