Abstract

Efforts to improve the quality of frozen semen of swamp buffalo have always been made, one way is by adding an ingredient that is effective in protecting sperm during the process of dilution, freezing and thawing as a compound that can neutralize free radicals (antioxidant). One antioxidant that has been widely studied is beta carotene (?-Carotene). This natural pigment has the ability to stabilize cell membranes, protect DNA, and reduce oxidative damage to sperm cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ?-carotene addition in egg yolk Tris diluent on the quality of liquid semen of swamp buffalo. The research materials used consisted of artificial vagina, microscope, Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA), object glass, cover glass, citrate, egg yolk, eosin-nigrosin dye and fresh semen of four-year-old swamp buffalo collected weekly at BIB Tuah Sakato, Payakumbuh. The experimental research method used a completely randomized design with four treatments and five replicates. The treatment of adding ?-Carotene into egg yolk tris (TKT) concentration: 0, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.3% which was equilibrated for 3 hours. Variables observed in this study include mortality, viability and abnormality of liquid semen. The results showed the addition of ?-carotene in egg yolk Tris (TKT) diluent at concentrations of 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% showed no significant effect on motility, viability, and abnormality of swamp buffalo spermatozoa (P > 0.05). The highest mean motility was recorded at 0.1% concentration (80.12 ± 3.95), followed by 0% (76.54 ± 6.48), 0.2% (76.48 ± 5.59), and 0.3% (73.65 ± 4.88). Viability was also highest at 0.1% (68.22 ± 5.41), then 0% (66.88 ± 6.33), 0.2% (64.94 ± 6.11), and 0.3% (61.51 ± 8.08). The lowest abnormality was found at 0.3% (30.50 ± 4.58), then 0.2% (31.45 ± 2.63), 0.1% (34.23 ± 2.22), and 0% (34.51 ± 2.49). Although not statistically significant, 0.1% concentration produced the highest motility and viability, so it can be considered added in TKT diluent.

Abstract

Artificial insemination (AI) in buffaloes in Indonesia still faces challenges, one of which is the low quality of frozen semen due to improper thawing processes. Buffalo semen has physiological advantages, but it is also more susceptible to damage during thawing and cryopreservation processes. Previous studies have shown that thawing time affects sperm motility. This study aims to determine the effect of thawing time on buffalo semen quality in order to improve AI success rates. This study used 20 straws of frozen buffalo semen with an experimental research method and data analysis using RAK, consisting of 4 treatments (P1: 30 seconds, P2: 60 seconds, P3: 90 seconds, P4: 120 seconds) and 5 replicates. The observation parameters were PTM (Post Thawing Motility), viability, abnormality, MPU (Membrane Plasma Integrity), and TAU (Acrosome Cap Integrity). The results showed that the mean values of PTM, viability, abnormality, MPU, and TAU of the four treatments were not significantly different (P>0.05). These results indicate that thawing frozen buffalo semen for up to 120 seconds (2 minutes) at a temperature of 370? can still maintain the viability, abnormalities, MPU count, and TAU count of buffalo sperm before insemination. There is a tendency for the PTM and MPU counts in the 120-second thawing treatment to be higher than in the other treatments. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that thawing for 30 seconds, 60 seconds, 90 seconds, and 120 seconds did not produce significant differences in PTM, viability, abnormalities, MPU, and TAU of frozen buffalo semen, so thawing up to 120 seconds can still be done.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the quality of frozen buffalo semen after adding Beta-carotene or glycerol to the tris egg yolk diluent on the quality of frozen buffalo semen. The study used 14 straws of frozen semen from mud buffaloes originating from BIB Tuah Sakato, Ibuh Payakumbuh. The experimental research method with data analysis used a completely randomized design with 7 treatments and 2 replicates: P0 without the addition of Beta-carotene or glycerol, treatment with the addition of Beta-carotene to egg yolk tris (TKT) at concentrations: P1 0.1%, P2. 0.2%, P3 0.3%, and Glycerol at concentrations: P4 2%, P5 4%, and P6 6%. The equipment and materials used included: a microscope, computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA), object glass, cover glass, 14 straws of frozen buffalo semen, citrate, egg yolk, HOS solution, and eosin-nigrosin dye. The parameters observed after the thawing process were the percentages of motility, viability, MPU, and abnormalities in frozen semen. The results of the study showed the average sperm motility in order, namely P1 57.79 ± 5.30, P4 57.71 ± 9.01, P0 54.62 ± 8.92, P5 51.47 ± 5.80, P2 49.28 ± 7.59, P3 25.45 ± 1.21, and P6 25.03 ± 1.21. Treatments P3 and P6 significantly (P < 0.05) reduced sperm motility after thawing. Meanwhile, viability, MPU, and abnormality did not show significant differences (P > 0.05) between treatments. From these data, it can be concluded that the addition of Beta-carotene at concentrations of 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% compared to the addition of glycerol at 2%, 4%, 6% in the egg yolk tris diluent, both significantly (P < 0.05) affected motility and did not significantly (P > 0.05) affect viability, intact plasma membrane, and abnormalities in frozen buffalo semen. The addition of Beta-carotene up to 0.2% or glycerol up to 4% was able to maintain post-thawing motility (PTM) above 40%.

Abstract

The development of the livestock sector is part of the growth of the agricultural industry, as it holds strategic value in meeting food needs. The livestock subsector contributes to agricultural development, with the poultry industry being a key driver of business development in the livestock subsector. One interesting business activity to study in the livestock subsector is the broiler chicken business. Broiler chicken farming can be developed through a partnership model, namely a broiler chicken farm implemented using a nucleus-plasma scheme. This study aims to determine the partnership model implemented by Rizaldi Soetra with PT Ciomas Adisatwa and to determine the production costs and profits obtained from Rizaldi Soetra's broiler chicken farm. The study was conducted on Rizaldi Soetra's farm for two months, from June to August 2025 in Muaro Bodi Village, IV Nagari District, Sijunjung Regency. The study used 13,000 broiler chickens owned by Rizaldi Soetra during one production period to determine income and profits. The method used was a survey with direct field observations to obtain the necessary data. Data collection was conducted using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The results of this study indicate that Rizaldi Soetra's broiler chicken farm, operating in partnership with PT Ciomas Adisatwa, is highly profitable for farmers. It can be concluded that the partnership between Rizaldi Soetra's broiler chicken farm and its partner company, PT Ciomas Adisatwa, spans from upstream to downstream. The production costs for this business per unit are Rp386,086,758.11, resulting in a profit of Rp53,317,857.89, with a R/C ratio of 1.14.
