Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of red dragon (Hylocereus polyrhizus) fruit peel extract (RDFPE) on spermatozoa motility and viability of hypercholesterolemic rats (Rattus norvegicus) as a model. Twenty male rats were randomly divided into negative control (NC), positive control (PC), treatment 1 (T1), treatment 2 (T2), and treatment 3 (T3) groups. All rats were given 2 mL of high cholesterol feed orally every day for 28 days. On day-15, all rats were measured for their blood cholesterol levels, followed by treatment for 14 days. Rats in the NC, PC, T1, T2, and T3 groups were treated with 1% Na-CMC, Simvastatin 10 mg/kg BW, and RDFPE of 500, 750, and 1000 mg/kg BW, respectively. On day-29, all rats were sacrificed to evaluate spermatozoa viability and motility. The results showed that spermatozoa viability and motility in the hypercholesterolemic rats (NC) group were the lowest (p <0.05) among the groups. Treatment of hypercholesterolemic rats with Simvastatin 10 mg/kg BW (PC) group showed higher (p <0.05) spermatozoa viability and motility compared to the NC group. RDFPE dose of 1000 mg/kg BW (T3 group) resulted in higher (p <0.05) spermatozoa viability and motility compared to other RDFPE doses (T1 and T2) and the control (NC) groups, and it was similar (p >0.05) compared with the Simvastatin treated (PC) group. It could be concluded that the administration of 1000 mg/kg BW ethanolic extract of red dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) peel increased the viability and motility of spermatozoa of hypercholesterolemic rats (Rattus norvegicus) which were the same as the group of rats given Simvastatin 10 mg/kg BW.

Abstract

The problem of livestock farmers in Tanjung Pasar Village, Muara Pawan District, Ketapang Regency, West Kalimantan is the high number of calf deaths and the use of palm oil waste in the form of palm oil mud which is abundant in the area which is directly given to livestock, even though the nutritional content in it is quite low when used as a source of feed to meet the needs of life in cattle. So the urgency of this problem is the need to increase the knowledge of livestock farmers regarding how to intensively raise calves in order to reduce high mortality in calves and increase the knowledge of livestock farmers regarding how to process animal feed from palm oil mud. Palm oil mud processing can be done to increase its nutrition. Therefore, the Community Service team from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University has carried out activities to improve the knowledge and skills of breeders in maintaining calves properly and processing palm oil mud. The specific output targets achieved are in the form of increasing the ability of farmers to raise calves better and make feed from palm oil mud, so that the health of calves can improve and the nutritional needs of the livestock will be met. The method used in achieving these goals is through activities that include counseling and training on how to rearing of calves, making animal feed from palm oil waste through fermentation methods and making mineral blocks. The results that have been achieved are in the form of a level of knowledge and understanding of how to rearing of calves which has increased from the previous 15.38% to 96.15%. Likewise, how to make animal feed from 11.54% to 96.15%, and how to make mineral blocks from 11.54% to 96.15%.
