Abstract

The Objective of this research was to know the effect of laserpuncture on reproduction point of male Mojosari duck on the number of spermatogonium cells and seminiferous tubule diameter of the testes. This research using completely randomized design with eighteen male Mojosari ducks which divided into three group randomly. Group I (P0) without any treatment of laserpuncture, Group II (P1) with 0.2 J dose of laserpuncture, and Group III (P2) with 0.4 J dose of laserpuncture. Laserpuncture shooting was done on reproduction point with three days interval in one month. On the thirty-first day, the duck was dissected so that the testes can be taken then made by the histological slide of testes. The obtained data processed by Analysis of Variant (ANOVA) followed with Duncan. Research result showed that laserpuncture shoot on the reproduction point of five-month-old male Mojosari duck decreases the number of spermatogonium cells and seminiferous tubule diameter of the testes.

Highlights

  • Duck farming is increasingly desirable as an alternative source of income for rural and urban communities

  • The main problem of duck breeding in Indonesia so far is the lack of quality seeds, it is necessary to have a breeding business to improve the quality of seeds that are needed to stock market [1]

  • Male Mojosari duck is held in a standing position, the semiconductor laser is switched on and the laserpuncture shot is aimed at the reproduction point ie the Ova point located in the dorsal region of the last thorax joint with the first lumbar

Summary

Introduction

Duck farming is increasingly desirable as an alternative source of income for rural and urban communities. Because the strategic environment is more favorable to the duck breeding business. The growing market of duck products has contributed to the development of duck farms in Indonesia. Mojosari Duck (Anas Platyrhynchos) on The Numbers of Spermatogonium Cells and Seminiferous Tubules Diameter” in The Veterinary Medicine Page 718. The main problem of duck breeding in Indonesia so far is the lack of quality seeds, it is necessary to have a breeding business to improve the quality of seeds that are needed to stock market [1]. In the development of livestock, Male duck becomes an important factor because the quality of male duck used determines the quality of the child produced. The quality of reproduction in the male duck is determined by the process of spermatogenesis in the testes [2]
