Antioxidants can inhibit the oxidation process by reacting with free radicals, which in turn, maintain the quality of spermatozoa. This study aims to determine the viability and the abnormality of “ayam kampung” (Gallus gallus) spermatozoa after being diluted in ringer lactate infused with “sarang semut” (Myrmecodia Sp) extract. RAL is the research method used, utilizing 4 different Gallus gallus as test subjects. The variables observed are the abnormality and the viability of the spermatozoa sample treated with different amounts of Myrmecodia Sp extract, P0: 0 ml, P1: 0.02 ml, P2: 0.03, and P3: 0.04 ml. The abnormality rate for each sample is as follows; P0: 14 ± 4.05%, P1: 13.5 ± 3.78%, P2: 3.5 ± 1.23% and P3: 12.83 ± 5.04 %. Using the variance analysis, the result showed that the addition of Myrmecodia Sp extract in ringer lactate solution had little to no effect on causing spermatozoa abnormalities. Furthermore, the viability of spermatozoa for each sample is; P0: 14 ± 4.05%, P1: 13 ± 3.78%, P2: 13 ± 1.22% and P3: 12 ± 5.04%. Based on the variance analysis, the result showed that Myrmecodia Sp extract had a significant effect (P <0.05) on the spermatozoa viability. The addition of Myrmecodia sp extract to ringer lactate diluter had little to no effect on the abnormality of the Gallus gallus’ spermatozoa but had a significant effect on the spermatozoa’s viability.
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.
