<![CDATA[The purpose of this study to identify the combination of the Arenga pinnata (AP) toddy with Citrate diluent in sheep semen preservation at room temperature. This research conducted laboratory of Reproductive Physiology, Husbandry Faculty, University of Jambi. In this study using a random factorial design in a series of time with 5 treatment combinations and citric coconut palm is P0 = control, P1 = + 2.5% AP + citrate, P2 = 5% AP + citrate, P3 = 7.5%AP + citrate and P2 = 10%AP + citrate, with a time of observation 0, 2, 4, 6 and 8 hours. Parameters are observed and viabelitas motility.The results of this study showed that administration of the Arenga pinnata toddy 7.5% + citrate diluent can sustain sheep spermatozoa motility (P <0.01). However viabelitas concentration was maintained until 10% Arenga pinnata toddy. The interaction between treatment and the time is 10% Arenga pinnata toddy is good for storage of sheep semen within 2 hours. Conclusion using Arenga pinnata toddy from 7.5 to 10% can maintain spermatozoa motility and viability of the sheep that are stored at room temperature.]]>
