<![CDATA[This study aims to find the best combination. diluent of watermelon juice and egg yolk to maintain the quality of landrace pig spermatozoa. Semen is accommodated twice a week from one two-year-old male landrace pig. This study was experimental using a Complete Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of five treatments and five repeats. The treatment consists of P0= SBS 80%+KT 20%. P1= SBS 80%+KT 20%+VCO 1.5%. VIT C 0.1 mg/mL. P2= SBS 80%+KT 20%+VCO 3.0%. VIT C 0.2 mg/mL. P3= SBS 80%+KT 20%+VCO 4.5%. VIT C 0.3 mg/mL. P4= SBS 80%+KT 20%+VCO 6.0%. VIT C 0.4 mg/mL. Diluted semen is stored in a coolbox at a temperature of 15-20ºC. then observed every 8 hours until the percentage of spermatozoa motility is 40%. The results of this study showed that semen diluted using watermelon juice in P1 treatment (VCO 1.5% and vitamin C 0.1%) had higher quality (P<0.05) compared to other treatments. namely motility reaching motility (53.75±4.79). viability (59.75±5.56). abnormalities (3.75±0.29). and survival (29.50±0.82 hours). It was concluded that the addition of 1.5% VCO and 0.1% vitamin C to watermelon juice diluent was effective in maintaining the quality of landrace pig spermatozoa.]]>
