The tool used is in the form of an ultrasound for livestock, namely the Veterinary Ultrasound Scanner with a 5 MHz probe transducer, the image mode in the form of B-mode which will be displayed on the LCD with a size of 10 inches. Ultrasound examination is carried out in series every once a week. The semen examination was carried out immediately after the testicular ultasonography examination was carried out. No association was found between echogenicity and heterogeneity of the prostate gland or other size of the prostate gland and semen quality. Testicular volume, prostart and age did not affect the quality of Kintamani dog spermatozoa, while the testicular sonogram had an effect on the quality of Kintamani dog spermatozoa.]]>
