PENGARUH AIR KELAPA MERAH YANG MUDA DAN TUA SEBAGAI PENGENCER TERHADAP KUALITAS SEMEN KAMBING BOER SELAMA PENYIMPANAN DINGIN
Abstract: The aim of this research
was to know the effect of maturity of red coconut water as a diluent to the
sperms quality of Boer goats during chilled preservation. The research was
carried out at Laboratory Sumber Sekar Faculty of Animal Husbandry University of Brawijaya Malang, on
11st December 2016 until 31st January 2017. The method used in this research
was laboratory experimental using Randomized Block Design with three
treatments, P0 (Tris Aminomethane + 20% Egg Yolk), P1 (Young Red Coconut Water
+ 20% Egg Yolk) and P2 (Mature Red Coconut Water + 20% Egg Yolk) which each
treatment using 10 repetitions. The observed variables include the percentage
of motility, percentage of viability and percentage of abnormal spermatozoa
during chilled preservation The results showed that on the 3ndday the
percentage of motility of spermatozoa during chilled preservation gave a
significant effect (P<0.05), while on viability gave a very significant
effect (P<0.01), and on abnormality did not give a significant effect (P>
0.05). The highest of total motile spermatozoa was P0 (Tris Aminomethan + 20%
Egg Yolk). P2 better than P1 on motility, but not on viability and abnormality.
The conclusions was the maturity of red coconut water can improve motility, but
can not improve viability and abnormality. The suggested was use Mature Red
coconut water + 20% Egg Yolk as a diluent
and do further research on coconut water to be able to maintain
spermatozoa longer.
