Pengaruh Level Energi Dalam Pakan Terhadap Kualitas Spermatozoa Ayam Kampung Secara Mikroskopis

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of energy levels in feed on the quality of
spermatozoa. The materials used in this study were 80 weeks old male native chickens, rations, 3%
sodium chloride, eosin, and distilled water. This study used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD)
consistied of 4 treatments and each treatment was repeated 4 times. Each repeatation was a male
native chicken. Collection of semen used the massage method on the abdominal area. The results of
the study showed that the energy level in the rations increased (P<0.01) the mass motion and
decreased the motility of spermatozoa. The mean of mass motion scores obtained ranged 1.50% to
3.00%, and the motility ranged 68.75% to 80.0%. The energy level in the rations increased
(P<0.05) on the concentration and the number of live spermatozoa. The mean of concentration
obtained ranged 2.75x10
9
cells/ml to 3.75x10
9
cells/ml and the number of live spermatozoa ranged
from 89.50% to 92.50%. Energy level in rations had no significant effect (P>0.05) on spermatozoa
abnormality. The mean percentage of abnormal spermatozoa obtained ranged 2.27% to 2.38%.
Based on this result, it can be concluded that the energy level in the rations could improve the
quality of spermatozoa
