Abstract
The aims of this research were to find out the effect of glutathione level on semen quality of local ram and to find out the glutathione level that provide the best quality of local ram semen. This research use Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments of glutathione level (0 mM, 4 mM, 5 mM, 6 mM and 7mM) and was repeated for 10 times. Data were analyzed using analysis of varians (ANOVA) and differences between treatment was analyzed using Duncan test. The parameter were semen quality consist of motility, intact plasma membrane (IPM), abnormality, and recovery rate. Result of this research showed that glutathione level significantly (p<0.05) affect on motility, IPM, abnormality and recovery rate. Duncan test result showed that recovery rate from treatment of 5 mM glutathione level have significantly higher than other treatment, whereas for motility, IPM and abnormality were not significant different with 4 mM, and 6 mM. It is concluded that semen quality of local ram was affected by glutathione level, and the level of 5 mM in egg yolk tris extender provide the best quality of local ram semen.
