Abstract

Indonesian local sheep represent a particular species of sheep reared by farmers on small-scale farms. Semen freezing can be performed using either a homemade or commercial extender. The present study evaluated the effectiveness of several commercial extenders in freezing Indonesian local sheep. Semen was collected from three mature and healthy rams using an artificial vagina and evaluated. It was determined that only samples exhibiting sperm motility levels of greater than 70% would be included in the study. Subsequently, the semen from each ram was divided into three portions and diluted with Andromed, Sterydil, and OptiXcell, respectively. The frozen semen was then evaluated 24 hours post-freezing. The thawing process was conducted individually at 37°C for 30 seconds. The evaluation encompassed a range of metrics, including sperm motility, viability, and the presence of any abnormalities, in addition to the recovery rate. The results indicated that sperm frozen in Optixcell and Sterydil extenders exhibited superior motility, viability, and recovery rate than Andromed. The study also demonstrated no interaction between individual Ram and extender, and no differences were found between individuals. The study concluded that Optixcell and Sterydil extenders effectively froze Indonesian local sheep semen.

Abstract

One factor that affects frozen semen characteristics is bull age. Increasing age induces changes in sperm that reduce frozen semen quality. This study aimed to evaluate the frozen semen characteristics of Bali bulls aged 3, 8, and 13 years. Frozen semen was derived from fresh semen with sperm motility > 70%. The frozen semen characteristics tested included motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, and sperm abnormalities. Sperm motility was analyzed by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). Viability was assessed using eosin-nigrosin staining; plasma membrane integrity was assessed using the hypoosmotic swelling test (HOST); acrosome integrity was assessed using Giemsa staining; and sperm abnormalities were assessed using Williams staining. The plasma membrane integrity of the 13-year-old group was significantly lower (P < 0.05) than that of the younger age groups. However, there were no significant differences (P > 0.05) in the other parameters. We conclude that age affects the integrity of the sperm plasma membrane in frozen semen from Bali bulls.

Abstract

Sheep farming plays a crucial role in Indonesia's livestock industry; however, the effectiveness of artificial insemination (AI) is hindered by the less-than-ideal quality of cryopreserved semen. This research assessed the longevity and progressive motility recovery rate (RR) of frozen semen from local Indonesian rams, using a homemade Tris egg yolk (TEY) extender and three commercial extenders (AndroMed®, Steridyl®, BoviFree®). Semen from three rams (Batur, Garut, and Sakub) was processed, frozen in 0.25 mL straws (50 × 10⁶ sperm per straw), and its quality was evaluated using CASA. Longevity was monitored hourly from 0 to 4 h at 37°C. The data were analyzed using a Randomized Block Design with ANOVA, followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test. Sperm motility decreased over incubation time for all extenders, with notable differences at 4 h (total motility, p = 0.017; progressive motility, p = 0.023). Commercial extenders preserved higher total and progressive motility than TEY, with Steridyl® showing the highest mean RR (64.11%; mean all rams; RR analysis, n = 18), significantly outperforming Andromed®, BoviFree®, and TEY (p = 0.007). The superior results of Steridyl® align with its low-density lipoprotein content, which stabilizes the sperm membranes during cryopreservation. In summary, Steridyl® was the most effective extender for maintaining motility and RR of frozen semen from local Indonesian rams, potentially enhancing AI success in small ruminant programs.

Abstract

Frozen semen from Belgian Blue cattle is in high demand among farmers, as evidenced by the increasing interest in this breed's semen. However, the freezing process reduces sperm motility and viability. This study aimed to assess the viability of sperm post-freezing and the sperm recovery rate (RR) in Belgian Blue cattle using different extenders. Semen was collected, evaluated, and diluted in four extenders: three commercially available ones—BoviFree®, AndroMed®,, and Steridyl®,—and a homemade extender, Tris Egg Yolk (TEY). Longevity and RR tests were conducted 24 h after freezing. Progressive motility was assessed using a portable computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) device (Androscope Minitube, Germany). The results indicated that sperm motility was higher in the BoviFree®, and AndroMed®, extenders after 3 h compared to the other extenders (p <0.05). After 4 h, motility remained higher in the BoviFree®, extender than in TEY. The RR values showed no significant differences among the extenders (p< 0.05). The study concluded that sperm longevity in Belgian Blue cattle was optimal in the BoviFree®, extender, with consistently good sperm RR values across all extenders.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of frozen semen production in Etawah Grade and Anglo-Nubian breeds based on fresh semen characteristics and to assess variations among individuals and breeds. The research was conducted at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center, West Bandung, using primary data from five ejaculations per individual and secondary data from the year 2024. Fresh semen was evaluated for semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm concentration, reflecting the number of straws that can be produced per ejaculation. Frozen semen production potential was calculated based on semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm concentration. The results showed significant differences (P<0.01) in production potential among individuals and between breeds. The highest production potential was observed in the buck named Andromeda (122.45 ± 2.07 straws), which was significantly higher than that of other individuals. Anglo-Nubian breed showed a higher production potential (105.76 ± 2.54 straws) compared to Etawah Grade (91.63 ± 1.92 straws). However, Etawah Grade bucks exhibited relatively better sperm motility. In conclusion, both individual and breed factors significantly influence frozen semen production potential. Anglo-Nubian bucks have higher production capacity, while Etawah Grade bucks may offer better sperm quality. These findings provide important insights for optimizing breeding strategies and semen production planning in artificial insemination programs.

Abstract

Standar kualitas semen yang berperan penting dalam keberhasilan inseminasi buatan (IB) sebagai upaya peningkatan populasi dan mutu ternak sapi di Indonesia terbukti tidak seutuhnya mampu menentukan tingkat fertilitas sapi pejantan di Indonesia. Studi terbaru membuktikan bahwa meskipun sudah memenuhi standar kualitas semen yang sudah ditetapkan, namun tiga dari enam ekor sapi pejantan di Indonesia masih tergolong fertilitas rendah (<60%). Potamine-1 (PRM1) merupakan molekul pada inti spermatozoa yang telah terbukti memiliki hubungan erat dengan fungsi fertilitas dan kualitas spermatozoa pada berbagai sapi pejantan di Indonesia. Hal tersebut mendasari usulan pengembangan uji berbasis molekuler PRM1 sebagai penentu tingkat fertilitas yang diharapkan dapat digunakan untuk proses seleksi dan kebijakan pengafkiran sapi pejantan unggul di Indonesia. Melalui policy brief ini diharapkan usulan pengembangan uji tersebut dapat lebih tersampaikan dengan segala solusi yang diberikan, termasuk terkait pendekatan uji berbasis molekuler yang paling tepat digunakan, kajian-kajian lanjutan, dan berbagai harapan dukungan dari segala pihak demi terwujudnya pengembangan uji PRM1.

Abstract. Yoelinda VT, Arifiantini RI, Solihin DD, Agil M, Setiadi DR, Hastuti YT, Manansang J, Sajuthi D. 2023. Short Communication: Characteristics of the endangered Javan banteng (Bos javanicus) spermatozoa. Biodiversitas 24: 759-766. Morphology and morphometry of spermatozoa become essential fertility parameters in domestic and wild animals. Such morphological abnormalities can arise from genetic or environmental origins and cause fertility deprivation. Semen collection using transrectal massage has been used in several domestic and wild animals and is known to be simpler, safer, and less painful than artificial vaginas and electro-ejaculation. This study aimed to evaluate morphological and morphometrical features of the banteng spermatozoa head. The objective of this study was also, to evaluate the use of transrectal massage as a semen collection protocol. This study was conducted in Taman Safari Indonesia, Cisarua, Bogor, West Java, involving one banteng (Bos javanicus) bull. Semen samples were collected weekly, smeared, and stained with a modified Williams' staining method. This study found ten types of head morphological abnormality, comprising several major defects, with several types known to be the genetic origin. There were also nine types of spermatozoa tail abnormalities and teratoid form abnormalities. The total normal spermatozoa proportion in this study was 54.30±1.74%. Morphometric dimensions of length, width, and area head of banteng spermatozoa were 9.88±0.01 µm, 4.91 µm, and 38.12±0.05 µm2, respectively, with a tail length of 60.48±0.03 ?m. Although our result was limited by the number of samples available for the study, this first report on the banteng bull's sperm morphology and morphometry still need to be considered. The possibility of transrectal massage use for banteng semen collection protocol demonstrated in this study may be helpful to support the conservation approach in terms of breeding program strategy.

Abstract

Penelitian ini mengevaluasi efektivitas sinkronisasi estrus menggunakan prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) pada sapi Bali dan menilai hasil kehamilan setelah perlakuan awal dan resinkronisasi selanjutnya. Sepuluh sapi Bali menerima dua suntikan PGF2α, diberikan dengan jarak 11 hari, sesuai rekomendasi standar. Hewan yang menunjukkan estrus diinseminasi buatan, dan diagnosis kehamilan dilakukan 30–45 hari setelah inseminasi menggunakan ultrasonografi. Sapi yang gagal hamil selama siklus pertama menjalani protokol resinkronisasi dua minggu kemudian. Protokol sinkronisasi menghasilkan respons estrus 100%, dengan tingkat kehamilan awal 40% (4 sapi). Resinkronisasi enam sapi yang tidak hamil menghasilkan dua kehamilan tambahan (33,3%), sehingga menghasilkan tingkat kehamilan keseluruhan 60%. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa PGF2α efektif dalam mengatur siklus estrus dan meningkatkan efisiensi reproduksi sapi Bali, terutama bila diintegrasikan dengan strategi resinkronisasi.

Abstract

Operational implementation, such as laboratory staff and equipment, differ for each frozen semen producer, resulting in variability in the quality assessment of the frozen semen produced. Conventional assessments subject to subjectivity, human error, and high variability. Computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) is considered more objective. This study aimed was to conduct a comparative analysis of motility and concentration assessment of frozen semen sperm using conventional and the portable CASA AndroScope. Twenty-one laboratory assistants from 21 national and regional frozen semen producers participated in this study. Sperm motility and concentration were assessed conventionally (using a Neubauer chamber) and AndroScope was used with five replicates. The results of the comparison of sperm motility scores revealed significant differences (p<0.05) between conventional examination and using AndroScope. The results of the comparison of the sperm concentration calculations revealed no significant difference (p>0.05) between the calculations performed using the Neubauer chamber and AndroScope. Assessment with the AndroScope is considered reliable and can replace conventional assessment in assessing motility and sperm concentration, thereby improving and standardizing the assessment performed by frozen semen producers.
