Biometri Organ Reproduksi Bagian Luar dan Karakteristik Ejakulat Anoa (Bubalus sp.) yang Dikoleksi Menggunakan Elektroejakulator Setelah Diinjeksi hCG
Abstract: This experiment
aimed to investigate characteristics of reproductive organ (external parts) of
the anoa (Bubalus sp.) and semen characteristics that collected by using
electroejaculator after hCG injection, as an initial step on implementation of
assisted reproductive techniques. Anoa is Indonesian endemic fauna that
included into Appendix I by CITES. Anoa breeding efforts have not succeeded,
due to their agressivity, soliter, wildness and monogamous. This experiment was
carried out in Ragunan Zoo (Jakarta), Taman Safari Indonesia (Bogor), and
Divison of Reproduction, Obstetrics and Gynaecology Faculty of Veterinary
Medicine, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB). Biometry of reproductive organ
were measured by microcaliper and nylon tape. Semen was collected by
electroejaculator, under anesthetized condition. Ejaculate was evaluated macro-
and microscopically. The results showed that the reproductive organ was larger
as it is getting older. But, it was generally smaller compared to the
buffalo's. The characteristics of fresh semen were: volume 1.02±0.28 ml, pH
6.93±0.19, mass movement 0, progressive motility 52.50±18.91%, live-death ratio
67.48±8.24%, concentration 263.33±105.06 billion/mL and total abnormality
31.86±3.72% (primary abnormality 9.52±3.85%, secondary abnormality
22.33±1.46%). The semen qualities were fairly good, even though some parameters
showed lower number compared to buffalo's. It is important to improve the
collection technique, animal handling and appropriate extender development for
semen cryopreservation.
