Abstract

Sperm quality is vital for livestock reproduction. Without good sperm quality, reproduction will not occur properly, which will cause a hamper in the increase of livestock population. Sanrego (Lunasia amara Blanco) is a plant that has an aphrodisiac effect that can increase libido, so this plant is very interesting to study whether it can maintain sperm quality during sperm processing and storage. Belgian Blue Crossbreeds is crossed between Belgian Blue cattle and Brahman cattle which needs to be improve local cattle in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of adding Sanrego wood extract (Lunasia amara Blanco) to the Andromed® diluent on the sperm quality of Belgian Blue Crossbreeds bull. The treatment of this research consisted of Andromed® diluent (P0) as control, Andromed® diluent and 2% Sanrego wood extract (P1), Andromed® diluent and 3% Sanrego wood extract (P2), and Andromed® diluent and 4% Sanrego wood extract. (P3). The measured variables were motility and viability of spermatozoa. Observations were made in the first 3 hours and then every 24 hours until the fifth day. Data obtained were analyzed using analysis of variance based on Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The results showed that the addition of Sanrego wood extract could increase (P<0.05) motility and viability of spermatozoa stored at 5C. The motility of spermatozoa on the fifth day at P0, P1, P2, and P3 were 35.4±1.5%, 42.3±0.4%, 44.4±2.1% and 43.2±1.8%, respectively. The viability of spermatozoa on the fifth day at P0, P1, P2, and P3 were 55.0±1.9%, 64.0±1.2%, 70.2±2.3% and 68.2±1.6%, respectively. The conclusion of this study was that the addition of Sanrego wood extract to the Andromed® diluent could improve the sperm quality of Belgian Blue Crossbreeds bull when compared to controls such that it might be utilized as a diluent alternative to improve liquid sperm quality.
