The objective of this study was to examine the effect of seminal plasma on viability of Boer goat spermatozoa and effectiveness of sugar palm juice as an alternative extender during preservation at 5ºC. Semen of two Boer goats were collected using an artificial vagina. Fresh semen were evaluated and divided in equal volume into four tubes. Semen in the first and second tubes diluted with 80% sugar palm juice + 20% egg yolk (P1) and Andromed (P2), respectively. Semen in the third and fourth tubes were centrifuged with 3,000 RPM for 20 minutes, and the supernatant removed. diluted with 80% sugar palm juice + 20% egg yolk (P3) and Andromed (P4), respectively. Diluted-semen were preserved in refrigerator at 5oC, and quality of the spermatozoa including motile spermatozoa (MS), live spermatozoa (LS), and intact plasma membrane (IPM) were evaluated every day for four days. Results of this study showed that at day-2 preservation, mean percentages of MS, LS, and IPM for P2 (72, 83.4, and 83.4%), P3 (72, 82.6, and 82.2%), and P4 (72, 83, 83.8%) were significantly (P<0.05) higher than P1 (3, 24.8, and 25.2%). At day-3 preservation, mean percentages of MS, LS, and IPM for P2 (57, 65.6, and 69.6%) was significantly (P<0.05) higher than P3 (21, 34.8, and 31.8%), P4 (22, 33.6, and 31.2%), and P1 (0, 0, and 0%). In conclusion, semen of Boer goat to be preserved with extender containing egg yolk should be removed seminal plasma. Sugar palm juice containing egg yolk could be used as an extender for Boer goat semen, but should be applied in the AI program immediately after the semen is diluted.

Each treatment was replicated 8 times making 48 experimental units. Results of the study showed that percentage mean of motility, viability, MPU, and TAU of spermatozoa after three days storage for P0 were : 42.20%, 41.85%, 39.08% and 40.90%; P1 : 50.40%, 53.89%, 52.99% and 54.67%; P2 : 54.67%, 56.97%, 54.51% and 54.36%; P3 : 17.00%, 29.96%, 29.64% and 29.64%; P4 : 23.38%, 24.64%, 21.06% and 24.45%Jurnal Veteriner Maret 2019 Vol. 20 No. 1 : 20 -29 pISSN: 1411-8327; eISSN: 2477-5665 DOI: 10.19087/jveteriner.2019.20.1.20 Terakreditasi Nasional, Dirjen Penguatan Riset dan Pengembangan, online pada http://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/jvet Kemenristek Dikti RI S.K. 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.

Spermatozoa in fresh semen of Sapudi ram has a limited life span. The storage of semen in cold temperatures (5 °C) is intended to prolong the spermatozoa's life. However, storage in cold temperatures can lead to increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This condition reduces the quality of spermatozoa. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of alphatocopherol supplementation in skim milk-egg yolk extender on viability, motility, and plasma membrane integrity of Sapudi ram spermatozoa. Fresh semen derived from Sapudi ram was divided into four treatment groups. Control treatment (P0): semen was added in the extender of skim milkegg yolk without alpha-tocopherol. Three other treatments: P1, P2, and P3 semen were added in skim milk-egg yolk extender with the supplementation of 0.25, 0.5, and 1 gram alpha-tocopherol/ 100 mL extender, respectively. The results showed that the viability, motility, and integrity of the spermatozoa plasma membrane decreased gradually according to the storage length. Supplementation of skim milk-egg yolk extender with 0.5 gram of alpha-tocopherol/100 mL (P2) was able to maintain spermatozoa quality longer (p <0.05) than the control group. It can be concluded that alpha-tocopherol with a concentration of 0.5 g/100 mL of skim milk-egg yolk extender effectively maintains the quality of Sapudi ram spermatozoa in storage at 5 ° C.

The cryopreservation process might reduce the quality of spermatozoa due to an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) compounds during cooling, freezing, and thawing. The quality of spermatozoa can be maintained by adding glutathione as an exogenous antioxidant into cryo-diluent. This study aimed to examine the effect of the addition of different doses of glutathione in cryopreservation of Aceh Local catfish (Clarias gariepinus) spermatozoa after freezing. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with four treatments and four replications. Fresh semen was diluted in Ringer, 15% DMSO, and 20% Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and then added with glutathione antioxidants of 0.0 mgL-1, 0.5 mgL-1, 1.0 mgL-1, and 2.0 mgL-1. The parameters observed in this study were motility, integrity of the plasma membrane, fertility, and DNA integrity. The results showed that the concentration of glutathione had no effect on motility, integrity ofthe plasma membrane, or fertility, but had an effect on DNA integrity. The highest percentage of motility and plasma membrane integrity respectively was 40.50% (P3) and 70.87% (P2). Furthermore, the assessment of DNA integrity showed that there was no DNA fragmentation both treatments and fresh spermatozoa. This research is the first study regarding glutathione supplementation in cryo-diluent of Aceh Local catfish spermatozoa. Finally, the results obtained can provide information about the exact concentration of glutathione in the extender on the quality of spermatozoa of Aceh Local catfish (C. gariepinus) after the cryopreservation process. These results can also increase the success of fertility be used by the seed hall unit and the aquaculture industry to increase the productivity and supply high quality seeds.
