Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is one type of cryoprotectant which has a low molecular weight so that it is easier to enter cells when cryopreservation. The purpose of this study was to explore the optimal concentration of DMSO in modified coconut water (mCW) extender that were able to maintain frozen sperm quality of bali bulls. Semen was collected from two four-year old bali bulls by artificial vagina. Good quality semen diluted with mCW (young coconut water + 20% egg yolk + 7.5 % moringa leaf extract) and supplemented by 3, 5, or 7% DMSO. Semen was filled into 0.25 ml ministraw, and was incubated in a refrigerator at 5°C for four hours, frozen on the surface of liquid nitrogen for 10 minutes and then dipped into liquid nitrogen. The quality of post thawing sperm was measured 24 hours later by placing the ministraw of frozen semen into water at 37oC for 30 seconds. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and continued with Duncan test. Postthawing observations showed that bali bulls sperm cryopreserved at 3% DMSO yielded higher motility and viability (p<0.05) i.e. 36 and 44.15%, than DMSO 5% i.e. 18 and 23.65%, and DMSO 7% i.e. 7 and 12.62%. The recovery rate of sperm cryopreserved at 3% DMSO was also higher (p<0.05) than DMSO 5 and 7%, successively 45.65, 23.06, and 8.86%. The results of this study concluded that the optimal concentration of DMSO in mCW diluent to maintain frozen sperm quality of bali bulls was 3%.

Abstract. Khaeruddin, Junaedi, Hastuti. 2020. Cryopreservation of Indonesian native chicken semen by using dimethyl sulfoxide and various level of ethylene glycol as cryoprotectants. Biodiversitas 21: 5718-5722. Imported purebred chickens are becoming more popular and a regular staple in Indonesia. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen conservation efforts to preserve Indonesian chickens, one of which is by means of sperm cryopreservation. This study aimed to determine the effects of the addition of DMSO and different concentrations of ethylene glycol to a Ringer’s lactate egg yolk (RLY)-or coconut water egg yolk (CWY)-based extender on the quality of frozen-thawed Indonesian chicken sperm. This study was used nine Indonesian native roosters about 20 months of age. The semen extenders used in this study were RLY + DMSO 7%, RLY + ethylene glycol 3%, RLY + ethylene glycol 5%, RLY + ethylene glycol 7%, CWY + DMSO 7%, CWY + ethylene glycol 3%, CWY + ethylene glycol 5% and CWY + ethylene glycol 7%. Liquid semen was packaged in 0.25 mL straw, then cooled at 5oC for 2 hours, frozen at 5 cm above liquid nitrogen for 10 minutes, following stored in a liquid nitrogen container for 24 hours. The semen straws were thawed at 37oC for 30 seconds. Statistical analysis for multiple comparisons was performed as a completely randomized design with eight treatment levels and seven replications. The results showed that there were no differences in sperm motility, recovery rate, and abnormality between extenders after the freeze-thaw process. Whereas, RLY + DMSO 7% was the highest sperm viability.

No. 36a/E/KPT/201621PENDAHULUAN Salah satu solusi yang dapat digunakan untuk pengembangan program Inseminasi buatan (IB) secara cepat dan mudah pada sapi bali adalah penggunaan semen cair. Penggunaan semen cair dapat meningkatkan kinerja IB pada sapi bali di Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Keunggulan lain semen cair dapat diproduksi menggunakan bahan pengencer herbal berbasis bahan lokal dan peralatan yang sederhana serta mudah diperoleh dan tidak tergantung dengan persediaan nitrogen cair. Hasil akhir dari metabolisme spermatozoa adalah terbentuknya radikal bebas berupa derivat oksigen di antaranya adalah single1 oksigen (1O2), tripel1 oksigen (3O2), superokside anion (O2-), hidroksil radikal (OH) dan nitrit oxide (NO-) yang semuanya disebut radical oksigen species (ROS). Single1 oksigen dapat merusak ikatan rangkap pada asam lemak sehingga dapat menyebabkan kerusakan Deoxyribo Nuclead Acid (DNA) dan protein. Single1 oksigen bila bereaksi dengan asam amino histidin akan membentuk enzim yang dapat menyebabkan denaturasi protein. Kerusakan spermatozoa pada penyimpanan suhu 5%C akibat radikal bebas dan cold shock inilah merupakan penyebab utama disfungsi semen (Sharma et al., 2000). Oksidasi fosforilasi yang terganggu menyebabkan peningkatan radikal bebas dalam semen. Kadar radikal bebas yang terganggu menyebabkan peningkatan radikal bebas dalam semen. Kadar radikal bebas yang tinggi dalam sel dapat mengoksidasi lipid, protein dan DNA. Lipid membran plasma semen memiliki fosfolipid dengan kadar yang tinggi menyebabkan semen rentan terhadap radikal bebas (Sanoeka dan Kurpisz, 2004). Antioksidan bertindak mengikat asam lemak tak jenuh dan mencegah terjadinyareaksi berantai. Pada proses penyimpanan semen akan terjadi kerusakan membran plasma spermatozoa akibat terbentuknya perioksidasi lipid. Antioksidan-pemutus rantai seperti yang terkandung dalam jambu biji dapat menghambat perioksidasi lipid dalam membran melalui radical peroxyl (RO) dan alkoxyl (ROO) pengurai. Pengunaan jambu biji yang difilter dalam pengencer air kelapa kuning telur dapat menjaga kualitas spermatozoa (motilitas, keutuhan akrosom, viabilitas dan morfologi spermatozoa) semen cair sapi bali selama penyimpanan pada suhu 5%C. Dosis jambu biji yang difilter yang terbaik dalam pengencer air kelapa kuning telur, akan terbaik pula dalam mempertahankan kualitas spermatozoa sampai tujuan IB. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini adalah menguji berbagai level pemberian filtrat jambu biji (FJB) dalam pengencer air kelapa kuning telur terhadap motilitas, viabilitas, membran plasma utuh (MPU) dan tudung akrosom utuh (TAU) spermatozoa sapi bali yang disimpan pada suhu 5%C.METODE PENELITIAN Penelitian ini telah dilakukan di Laboratorium Reproduksi milik Yayasan Wiliams dan Laura yang berlokasi di Tilong, Desa Oelnasi, Kec. Kupang Tengah, Kab. Kupang, Nusa Tenggara Timur, dan berlangsung selama delapan bulan. Materi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah semen sapi bali yang ditampung dari satu ekor sapi bali jantan berumur lima tahun milik Yayasan Williams dan Laura yang telah dilatih, memiliki performans yang baik, dan organ reproduksi normal. Pakan yang diberikan adalah hijauan berupa rumput dan legum dan pemberian konsentrat secukupnya (dedak padi dan jagung giling).and P5 : 9%, 21.25%, 17.56% and 19.30%. Result of statistical analysis showed that there were a significant effect (P<0.05) between treatment on motility, viability, MPU and TAU of spermatozoa of Bali cattle till the third day of storage. It can be concluded that the supplementation of guava filtrate 0.9% in dilution of coconut water 80% - egg yolk 20% had been able to maintain motility, viability, MPU and TAU of spermatozoa of Bali cattle till the third day of storage at 5oC.

The research was carried out to study the effect of egg-yolk consentration and cholesterol suplementationto tris - 1.2% maltosa extender on the quality of frozen semen of garut rams. Semen was collected once a week using artificial vagina from six mature Garut rams. Semen was equilibrated at 5oC for three hours, frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen. The thawing was carried out at the temperature 30oC for 30 seconds. Percentages of motility and intact plasma membrane (IPM) parameters were evaluated every stage of freezing semen. The results show that there were no interaction between both treatmenst on the quality of garut rams frozen semen. In the cholesterol treatment, percentages of progressive motile sperm and intact plasma membrane in control (50,50% and 57,92%) were significantly different (P<0,05) than cholesterol 1,0 mg /100 ml treatment (37,08% and 49,42%) respectively. In conclusion, addition of 10% egg yolk concentrationto Tris –1.2% maltosa extender was not significantly different than 20% egg yolk concentration. The frozen semen quality of control produced the best quality semen compared toboth addition of 0.5mg/100 ml and 1.0 mg/100 ml cholesterol treatments. Cholesterol addition to egg yolk Tris – 1.2% maltosa causes degradation of frozen semen quality.Penelitian dilakukan untuk melihat pengaruh konsentrasi kuning telur dan penambahan kolesterol pada pengencer semen Tris dengan maltosa 1,2% terhadap kualitas semen beku domba garut.

Background: Sperm sexing aims to separate sperm populations in carriers of the “X” or “Y” chromosome. Currently, flow cytometry is a technique that allows greater accuracy; however, it causes structural changes in sperm, reduces viability, and has a high cost. As a result, other methods have been researched, including immunosexing, which uses monoclonal antibodies to detect sex-specific surface antigens. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the immunosexing technique using a monoclonal antibody against sex-specific protein (HY) in the conservation of ram and goat semen in ACP101/102c.Materials, Methods & Results: Ejaculates from 5 rams and 5 goats were collected with the aid of an artificial vagina; they were evaluated and submitted to the immunosexing protocol, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, using the Monoclonal Antibody Kit specific for mammalian sperm with “Y” chromosomes (HY; HY Biotechnology, Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil). After sexing, the supernatant was resuspended in the cryopreservation diluent: ACP ram (ACP101/102c + 20% egg yolk + 7% glycerol) and ACP goat (ACP101/102c + 2.5% egg yolk + 7% glycerol), packaged in 0.25 mL straws, refrigerated at 4°C, stabilized for 30 min, frozen in liquid nitrogen vapor (-60°C) for 15 min, immersed in liquid nitrogen, and stored in cryogenic cylinders. The samples were evaluated in natura (T1), after immunosexing (T2) and after thawing (T3) for sperm motility subjectively using conventional microscopy (40x). Plasma membrane integrity (IMP) and sperm cell morphology were evaluated by the smear staining technique using eosin-nigrosine dye, and the percentages of healthy and morphologically defect spermatozoa were determined. In the evaluation of ram semen regarding sperm motility and IMP, no statistically significant differences were observed between treatments after sexing in the evaluation of absolute data (P > 0.05), with the difference being observed only between T1 and T2, and T3 (P < 0.05). Regarding the relative percentage and sperm morphology, no statistically significant differences were observed (P > 0.05). Regarding the evaluation of goat semen samples, the motility parameters were consistent with the technique submitted; however, the IMP data did not appear as expected, requiring further evaluation for a better assessment of the technique for this species.Discussion: The data obtained from ram semen submitted to the immunosexing protocol, regarding the absolute evaluation of motility and IMP, demonstrated that the non-sexed semen (T1) was superior to the sexed treatments (T2 and T3); however, it is noteworthy that freezing started with approximately 50% of the cells, since the immunosexing technique results in a loss of viability of approximately 50% of the sperm, which corresponds to the ratio of sperm carrying the X chromosome. In addition, when the data in this study were transformed into relative values, no statistical differences were observed, indicating that the immunosexing protocol, as well as the freezing protocol, did not significantly affect the quality of ram sperm cells. In relation to the immunosexing of goat semen, future studies should be conducted in vitro to define a more appropriate protocol for the species and, in addition, in vivo studies should be performed to prove the quality of the technique. It was concluded that the immunosexing process using a monoclonal antibody against sex-specific protein (HY) associated with the use of powdered coconut water diluent (ACP101/102c) in the cryopreservation of semen proved to be efficient in the in vitro evaluation of ovine species.

This study aimed to determine the role of guava fruit filtrate (GFF) on maintaining the pre-freezing and post-thawed quality of Bali bullspermatozoa in tris-egg yolk (TEY) extender. The bovine semen was collected using artificial vagina twice a week (n= 10). Ejaculate sampleswere divided into four tubes and each tube was respectively added the following diluents: TEY, TEY + 5% GFF, TEY + 10% GFF, and TEY +15% GFF. The diluted semen was filled into the straws (0.25 mL) and cooled in refrigerator at 4° C for 2.5 hours. The samples were kept onvapor phase of liquid nitrogen (N2) (-120° C) for 10 minutes prior to be stored in liquid phase (-196° C). The quality of pre-freezing and postthawedspermatozoa in straw sample (i.e. motility, viability, and abnormality) was evaluated under light microscopy at 400x magnification. Datawere analysed statistically. The percentage of motility and viability both on pre-freezing and post-thawed process were significantly higher insemen diluted with TEY + 10% GFF compared to control (TEY), TEY + 5% GFF, and TEY + 15% GFF. Addition of 10% GFF into tris-egg yolkextender play role for maintaining the quality of pre-freezing and post-thawed Bali bull spermatozoa.

Background: New methodologies have been developed seeking to maximize pregnancy rate in female dogs created in commercial kennels, and also in order to maintain the quality of canine semen after dilution, refrigeration or freezing. One of the main factors that generate damage to sperm is oxidative stress, to minimize sperm damage, selenium and antioxidants like vitamin E are administered, by oral administration, seeking to improve the quality of semen. The objective was to study the effect of vitamin E and selenium, by oral administration, in the quality of fresh, refrigerated and frozen semen in adult dogs French Bulldog breed.Materials, Methods & Results: Semen samples were collected from 5 adult dogs, French Bulldog breed, being 2 semen drawing before the daily oral supplementation with vitamin E and selenium (ESE®) and semen drawing at 20, 40 and 60 days after the beginning of oral supplement. The ejaculated samples were diluted in TRIS - fructose citric acid (3.28 g TRIS-hydroxy-methyl-amino-methane, 1.78 g of citric acid monohydrate and 1.25 g of D - fructose, dissolved in 100 mL of distilled water and added of 20% egg yolk and 6% of glycerol. The characteristics evaluated in fresh semen were: volume (mL), color, appearance, concentration (x106 / mL), sperm motility (%), sperm strength (1 to 5) and morphology (%). For refrigerated and frozen semen were analyzed: sperm motility (%), sperm strength (1-5) and morphology (%). Diluted semen samples were centrifuged at: 1500 g/10 min and “pellets” formed by sperm of each ejaculated, detached from the tube wall were diluted homogeneously in the diluent TRIS type up to the final volume of 1.5 mL. After that, packaged in 0.5 mL French straws, kept under refrigeration at 5ºC/4 h, placed in nitrogen vapor at -120ºC/15 min, and dipped in liquid nitrogen at -196ºC and then stored on identified rachis and stored in liquid nitrogen container until the time of thawing in  water bath at 37°C/30 s for semen microscopic analysis. Data from fresh, refrigerated and frozen semen were statistically analyzed by analysis of variance and the average compared by 5% of Tukey test. Fresh semen sperm concentration differed (P < 0.05) between the samples, rising after 40 days after the beginning of oral supplementation with selenium and vitamin E. For the spermatic strength, better score (P < 0.05) was observed at collection 4, in 40 days after the beginning of oral supplementation to dogs. For fresh and refrigerated semen, the total defects, defects of head, acrosome and tail did not differ (P > 0.05) between the samples. Total sperm defects and minor head and tail defects did not differ (P > 0.05) between the samples in post-thawing. Regarding the acrosome defects after thawing, there was a significant reduction (P < 0.05) in samples performed 40 and 60 days after the beginning of oral supplementation with selenium and vitamin E.Discussion: Attention should be paid for what purpose the extenders within the refrigeration or freezing biotech will be used. The managed supplement, by oral administration, containing selenium and vitamin E, influenced beneficially raising the sperm concentration in fresh semen and decreasing the acrosome defects in frozen semen. Oral administration of supplementation with selenium and vitamin E is recommended for improving the quality of fresh and frozen semen in dogs.
