The purpose of this review was to analyze factors affecting the popularity of artificial insemination of mares in Europe in the context of sperm quality. Taking into account the prices of stallion semen on the world market, efficiency is important for the profitability of its use in artificial insemination programs in Europe. To increase the efficiency of a semen insemination facility, it is necessary to correctly and objectively assess the quality of semen. The available range of tools allows an effective evaluation of the potential fertility of a stallion. For several years, artificial insemination programs in Europe have been gaining popularity. However, the frequency of chilled or frozen semen use is still quite low. This is mainly due to the common, negative opinion about the effectiveness of the use of packaged insemination doses as opposed to natural insemination. Unfortunately, the quality of the semen offered often deviates from expectations, which results in unsatisfactory (and therefore unprofitable) pregnancy rates. This review presents the popularity structure of chilled and frozen semen use in European horse breeding as well as the current state of research on the effectiveness of semen production technology. It is shown that the popularity of using chilled semen in the artificial insemination of mares in Europe has been gradually increasing in the group of sport mares, while in the group of breeding mares, in recent years, frozen semen has been gaining popularity. In the remaining group of mares (not classified as sport or breeding), insemination with chilled semen has been dominant.

ABSTRACT. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui status reproduksi hasil persilangan sapi peranakan ongole (PO) dan sapi bali (yang selanjutnya dinamakan sapi POBA) jantan dan betina melalui beberapa kegiatan lapang. Penelitian ini bersifat non eksperimental yang dilakukan secara eksploratif; menggunakan 20 ekor sapi berumur antara 32 sampai 36 bulan. Parameter yang diamati meliputi kualitas semen, kondisi organ reproduksi sapi betina dan angka kebuntingan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, kualitas semen sapi POBA rendah atau jelek berdasarkan hasil analisis secara mikroskopis maupun makroskopis; namun memiliki libido yang cukup tinggi yaitu rata-rata sekitar 4 menit 25 detik dari mulai mengendus atau didekatkan dengan ternak pemancing (teaser) sampai ejakulasi. Secara umum kondisi organ reproduksi sapi POBA betina normal, sehingga siap dijadikan indukan yang produktif. Sebanyak 66,67% menunjukkan perilaku estrus yang tampak terutama keluar lendir yang terlihat jelas menggantung di bibir vagina bahkan diantaranya mengejar dan/atau menaiki sapi-sapi lain. Namun hasil pemeriksaan kebuntingan (PKB) melalui palpasi rektal menunjukkan tidak ada sapi betina yang bunting. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa sapi POBA jantan infertil, yang diindikasikan melalui hasil pemeriksaan semen dan tidak adanya sapi betina yang berhasil bunting melalui perkawinan alam selama 3 (tiga) bulan. Sedangkan sapi betina POBA memiliki organ reproduksi normal serta menunjukkan ekspresi estrus yang baik.  (The evaluation of cattle reproduction status between crosses Ongole Crossbreed with Bali cows) ABSTRAK. The purpose of this research was to determine the reproductive status of the crossbred PO and Bali cattle (hereinafter referred to as POBA cattle) through several field activities. This research is non-experimental and carried out exploratory using 20 cattle aged 32 to 36 months. Parameters observed included semen quality, cows' reproductive organ condition, and pregnancy rate. The quality of POBA bulls semen was low or bad as indicated by the results of microscopic and macroscopic analysis; but had pretty high libido, which was an average of about 4 minutes and 25 seconds, starting to sniff or being brought near to teaser until ejaculation. In general, the reproductive organs of POBA cows were normal so that they were ready to become productive sires. As many as 66.67% showed estrus behavior, especially visible mucus that was hanging on the lips of the vagina, even among them chasing and/or riding other cattle. However, the results of pregnancy examination through rectal palpation showed that there were no pregnant cows. It can be concluded that POBA bulls are infertile, which was indicated by the results of semen examination and the absence of successfully conceived cows through natural mating for 3 (three) months. Meanwhile, POBA cows have normal reproductive organs and show good estrus expression.

Background and Aim: The implementation of artificial insemination (AI) is one of the strategies to use superior male semen optimally to improve the genetic quality of livestock. One of the factors that influence AI is a fertility-associated antigen (FAA). This research aimed to examine the effects of FAA extracted from the accessory sex glands of a bull from a slaughterhouse that was added in bull semen freezing medium to increase cattle (bull) fertilization. Materials and Methods: This research used a randomized complete block design. It consisted of two research phases, namely, explorative and experimental phases. The first phase involved determining the FAA molecular weight using the SDS-PAGE method, and the second phase consisted of laboratory and field testing, including testing the quality of frozen semen supplemented with FAA extracted from the accessory glands of a bull's genital organ from a slaughterhouse with various doses (0, 5, 10, and 15 μg in every 200 million progressively motile spermatozoa). Results: The results showed that the percentages of bull sperm motility between the groups without and with the additional administration of FAA with a dose of 5 μg did not significantly differ. However, there was a difference between the groups without and with the additional administration of FAA with doses of 10 and 15 μg. After further testing, the highest percentage of sperm progressive motility occurred at a dose of 15 μg/200 million progressively motile spermatozoa (P3), which was equal to 2.59±46.88b (%). Conclusion: This research found that not all of the accessory glands (seminal vesicles) of bulls taken from the slaughterhouse contain the FAA. An FAA level between the accessory glands (seminal vesicles) of one cattle to another is different. The addition of the FAA protein from the accessory sex glands of a bull's organ in cattle semen can improve fertility by increasing the percentage of viability, motility, intact plasma membrane of spermatozoa, and pregnancy rate of bulls and decreasing the sperm capacitation post-thawing.

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%.

This study aims to determine changes related to epididymal sperm parameters in mice given cogon grass root ethanol extract (CGREE). The experiment was carried out by dividing three groups of mice aged 4-week old (early pubertal), 8-week old (adult), and 24-week old (old) as control and treatment groups. The treatment groups were given 115 mg/kg body weight of CGREE for 14 days. The mice were sacrificed on day 15 to asses reproductive organ indexes and quality of the epididymal sperm. Index of epididymis and ductus deferens indices significantly reduced in the 4-week old treatment group compared to control (0.23 vs 0.33; 0.08 vs 0.16,  respectively), and vesical seminal significantly reduced in 8- week old treatment group compared to control (0.76  vs  0.68). The epididymal sperm quality significantly decreased in all treatment groups, but the sperm concentration in early pubertal group showed an increase. These results indicate that CGREE can enhance several semen parameters in prepubertal and adult mice but this effect is not apparent in old mice.
