PENGARUH SUHU DAN LAMA THAWING DI DATARAN RENDAH TERHADAP KUALITAS SEMEN BEKU SAPI SIMMENTAL
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this
study was to determine temperature and duration of thawing in thelowlands the
frozen semen of Simmental Cattle most optimal for use in IB. The study was
conductedin March 2014, research was conducted using a completely randomized
design with a 3x3 factorial.The first factor is the temperature (34°C, 37°C,
and 40°C) and Factor II thawing time (10 seconds, 15seconds, and 20 seconds)
with 3 replications. Parameters observed in this study is the motility
ofspermatozoa and percentage of live spermatozoa. The data were analyzed using
ANOVA andDuncan's test further the 5% level.The results showed that temperature
and thawing significant (P<0,05) on sperm quality frozensemen of Simmental
cattle, but has no interaction between them. Results of Duncan test (P<0,05)
tothe most good quality spermatozoa obtained at 37ºC thawing temperatures, and
thawing at 15 secondslong. Motility of spermatozoa at thawing temperatures 37ºC
is 38.33% and thawing 15 seconds longis36.11%. The percentage of live
spermatozoa at thawing temperatures 37ºC is40.78% and thawing 15seconds long is
38.33%.
