ISSN : 23559942     EISSN : 2656792X     DOI : 10.35508
Aims Jurnal Nukleus Peternakan purposes to publish original research and reviews articles on tropical veterinary medicine and domesticated animals such as dog, cat, cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, poultry, as well as Indonesian wild life. Scope Jurnal Nukleus Peternakan cover a broad range of research topics in animal production and fundamental aspects of genetics, reproduction, socioeconomic of livestock, nutrition, physiology, and preparation and utilization of animal products. Articles typically report research with beef cattle, goats, horses, pigs, and sheep; however, studies involving other farm animals, aquatic and wildlife species, endangered animals, and laboratory animal species that address fundamental questions related to livestock and companion animal biology will be considered for publication.

Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of frozen semen production in Etawah Grade and Anglo-Nubian breeds based on fresh semen characteristics and to assess variations among individuals and breeds. The research was conducted at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center, West Bandung, using primary data from five ejaculations per individual and secondary data from the year 2024. Fresh semen was evaluated for semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm concentration, reflecting the number of straws that can be produced per ejaculation. Frozen semen production potential was calculated based on semen volume, sperm motility, and sperm concentration. The results showed significant differences (P<0.01) in production potential among individuals and between breeds. The highest production potential was observed in the buck named Andromeda (122.45 ± 2.07 straws), which was significantly higher than that of other individuals. Anglo-Nubian breed showed a higher production potential (105.76 ± 2.54 straws) compared to Etawah Grade (91.63 ± 1.92 straws). However, Etawah Grade bucks exhibited relatively better sperm motility. In conclusion, both individual and breed factors significantly influence frozen semen production potential. Anglo-Nubian bucks have higher production capacity, while Etawah Grade bucks may offer better sperm quality. These findings provide important insights for optimizing breeding strategies and semen production planning in artificial insemination programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the animal welfare index for horses sold at the Horse Market in Jeneponto Regency. A mixed methods approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative data were obtained through observations of 100 horses using the Five Freedoms principle, assessed on a scale of 1-5, while qualitative data were collected through interviews with traders, buyers, and market managers. Data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the animal welfare index based on the average score of all observed indicators. The results showed that the horse animal welfare index was 2.16, which is considered adequate. The highest score was for freedom from pain/injury/disease (3.56), categorized as good, while the lowest score was for freedom from hunger and thirst (1.00), categorized as poor. Freedom from discomfort (1.73) and freedom to express natural behavior (2.00) were also considered low, while freedom from stress was considered adequate (2.50). The low implementation of animal welfare is influenced by limited market facilities, high livestock density, unhygienic environmental conditions, and market participants' poor understanding of animal welfare principles. This study shows that the implementation of animal welfare in horse trading in traditional horse markets is still not optimal, so that improvements in facilities, improved market management, and education related to animal welfare for all market players are needed to support a more sustainable and ethical livestock trading system.
