Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in quantity and quality of fresh semen and post-thawing frozen semen of two different cattle breeds at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Centre (BIB). The method applied in this research was case study method and used secondary data. The research material consisted of semen production records obtained from 9 Limousin cattle and 9 Simmental cattle, which were collected in July 2023 at 08.00-09.00 WIB. The variables studied were colour, volume, consistency, pH, motility, mass movement, concentration, post-thawing motility, and individual spermatozoa movement. The results showed that Limousin cattle semen had milky white (88.89%) and cream (11.11%) colour, medium consistency (55.56%) and liquid (44.44%) and mass motility value (++). While Simmental cattle semen has a milky white colour, medium consistency and mass motility value (++). The breed of cattle significantly differed on the concentration, pH of semen and post-thawing motility, then the breed of cattle had no significant difference on the volume, motility and movement of individual spermatozoa. Simmental cattle have superior semen quality compared to Limousin cattle.

Abstract

The semen of Simmental bull is widely used for artificial insemination. The purpose of this research was to determine the most ideal semen collection time to obtain the best production and quality of Simmental bull semen. The materials used were fresh semen from 11 Simmental bulls collected at various times between 07.00-09.00 WIB and 09.00-11.00 WIB. The method used in this study was a case study utilizing data from semen collection in July 2023 based on records of semen production and quality of Simmental bulls at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center. The observed parameters were macroscopic characteristics such as volume, color, pH, consistency, frozen semen production (straw), and microscopic characteristics such as concentration, motility, and post-thawing motility (PTM) of frozen semen. The results showed that different semen collection times affect the volume and production (straw) obtained, but there was no effect on color, pH, consistency, concentration, motility, and post-thawing motility (PTM) parameters. The conclusion of this study is that the semen collection time from 07:00 to 09:00 AM WIB results in better volume and production (straw) of frozen semen compared to the collection time from 09:00 to 11:00 AM WIB
