Abstract

This study was conducted to validate a commercial testosterone enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (DRG EIA-1559) inanalytic and biological manner for measuring serum testosterone concentrations in kacang goats. This study used 18 healthy kacang goats, six bucks (2 years), six kids (6 months), and six does (2 years). Blood samples were collected from jugular vein and prepared as serum. Two validation tests were performed, an analytical validation comprises a parallelism, accuracy, precision and sensitivity and a biological validation by comparing testosterone concentration from bucks, kids, and does. Testosterone concentrations were measured using ELISA technique. Data of analytical validation were analyzed descriptively and test of equality of slope was performed to see the parallelism between samples and standard curves. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used for biological validation data. Results of parallelism showed that sample curve was parallel to the standard curve. Accuracy, precision (% CV of intra-and inter-assay) and sensitivity of the assay were 99.654.27%, 10%, 15% and 0.083 ng/ml, respectively. Results of biological validation showed that the assay used were accurately measured testosterone which testosterone concentrations in bucks were significantly higher compared to kids and does (P0.05). In conclusion, a commercial testosterone ELISA kits (DRG EIA-1559) is a reliable assay for measuring serum testosterone concentration in kacang goats.

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.
