The current study was conducted to determine the quality of semen a native chicken Kalimantan breed. A total of four cocks were used in this study. Semen was collected twice per week via the dorsal-abdominal massage method. Semen qualities were very important to the success of fertility in the chicken. The semen was then assessed macroscopic and microscopic to determine viability, motility, integrity of the membrane plasma and to look for abnormalities. There were no significant differences (P>0.05) in sperm viability, abnormality or integrity of the membrane plasma between treatments and the control before freezing. However, sperm motility before freezing was significantly different (P<0.05) between the added 4% of honey (P4 treatment) semen and the controls. Semen qualities post-thawing such as viability, motility, abnormalities and integrity of the membrane plasma were not significantly different (P>0.05) between the controls and all treatments. The motility of spermatozoa before freezing for the P4 treatment was significantly lower than that control and all treatments, and the addition of honey with 2, 4, 6, 8% has no effect on semen qualities in post-thawed chicken spermatozoa.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
