Kombinasi Sari Buah Semangka dalam Pengencer Kuning Telur dan Larutan Tris Terhadap Kualitas Spermatozoa Babi Landrace

Abstract

in egg yolk diluent (EY) on the quality of spermatozoa in landrace pigs. In this study, the semen source was obtained from 1 male landrace pig aged 2 years in healthy condition, and had been trained in semen storage which was then diluted with treatment diluent, namely: T0: WMJ 80%+EY 20%, T1: WMJ 60% +EY 20%+TS 20%, T2: WMJ 40%+EY 20%+TS 40%, T3: WMJ 20%+EY 20%+TS 60%, T4: EY 20%+TS 80%. Diluted semen is stored at 15-20 ̊C and evaluated every 8 hours for motility, viability, abnormalities and survival. The results showed that the diluent WMJ 20%+EY 20%+TS 60% had higher quality (P<0.05) compared to the other four treatments, namely with motility (62.00±2.74%), viability (70.20±2.77%), abnormality (3.30±0.27%) and survival (32.00±0.00) hours. It was concluded that the diluent WMJ 20%+EY 20%+TS 60% could have a good influence in maintaining the quality of spermatozoa in landrace pigs.
