Red fruit oil is a red fruit extraction product (Pandanus conoideus Lam) containing a lot of antioxidants such as carotenoids, tocopherols as well as unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid and decanoic acid which is potential to be used as an additive for semen chicken diluents. This study aims to obtain an information about the effectiveness of adding red fruit oil as a cement diluent derived from male native chickens. The treatment consisted of 0.9 ml ringer laktat + 0.1 ml semen (Pl), ringer laktat 0.98 ml + 0.1 ml semen + 0.02 ml red fruit oil (P2), ringer laktat 0.96 ml + 0.1 ml semen + 0.04 ml red fruit oil (P3), ringer laktat 0.94 ml + 0.1 ml cement + 0.06 ml red fruit oil (P4). The results showed the sperm motility ranged from 48.17 ± 7.86% to 84.67 ± 2.42%. Treatment P1 and P2 have a very significant difference (P <0.01) on motility 0.05). The spermatozoa concentration ranged from 1,600x106 cells / ml to 2,200x106 cells/ml. The spermatozoa concentration of treatment P1 and P2 chickens did not show any significant differences (P> 0.05), nor did among treatments P2, P3 and P4. However, treatment P1 has a significant difference on spermatozoa concentration with P3 and P4. (P <0.05). It can be concluded that the addition of red fruit oil in lactated ringer diluent can be used as an additive for semen diluents because it is able to maintain the concentration. In addition, adding of red fruit oil up to concentrations of more than 2% tend to reduce sperm motility. Keywords: Concentration, Motility, Spermatozoa and Red fruit oil
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.
