PENGARUH KARAKTERISTIK LENDIR SERVIK SEBELUM INSEMINASI BUATAN (IB) TERHADAP KEBERHASILAN KEBUNTINGAN SAPI KOMPOSIT
Abstract: The purpose of this
study was to determine the effect of characteristics of cervical mucus before
artificial insemination (AI) as conception rate (CR). The study materials were
112 composite cattle in estrus. Fifty five composite heifers and 57 composite cows.
Samples of cervical mucus were examined for amount and consistency. The amount
of the cervical mucus was studied based on its much, little and nothing of
secretion the cervical mucus while the consistency was based on the thinness
and thickness of the cervical mucus. The measurement of vaginal temperature was
conducted by digital thermometer. The pregnancy diagnosis was performed at the
60th days post insemination. Data was analyzed by descriptive and Chi-square.
Findings showed that the conception rates of composite cattle with thin, thick,
and nothing secretion of cervical mucus were 66.67%, 68.00%, 35.71% on
composite cows and 37.03%, 50.00%, 37.50% on composite heifers. The vaginal
temperature with thin, thick, and nothing secretion of cervical mucus were
38.7±1.0 oC, 38.9±0.7 oC, 38.6±0.5 oC. It was concluded that characteristics of
servical mucus before artificial insemination (AI) gave effect to conception
rate. It was suggested that optimum time to artificial insemination (AI) of
composite cattle was on thick and thin secretion of servical mucus.
