Ability of Melon (Cucumis melo. L) Fruit Juices Based Tris Diluent on The Quality of Frozen Spermatozoa of Bali Cattle After Thawing

Abstract

The high potassium content in melon plays a role in maintaining the normal function of the muscles, heart, nervous system, and potassium is also the main regulator of blood pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using melon juice (Cucumis melo L.) as a diluent on the quality of spermatozoa and semen of Bali cattle both before and after freezing. The Banyumulek Artificial Insemination Center produces sperm used in Bali cattle breeding. The technique used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 15 replications. The first treatment was 100% egg yolk tris buffer without the addition of melon juice (P0), the second treatment was 80% buffer without the addition of 20% melon juice (P1), the third treatment was 60% buffer with the addition of 40% melon juice (P2). The fourth treatment was 40% buffer with the addition of 60% melon juice (P3). The outcomes showed that the worth of flawless plasma film and mortality upsides of ox-like semen after weakening and subsequent to defrosting were not essentially unique. Be that as it may, not altogether disparate in that frame of mind of motility, level of reasonability, level of ordinariness and post-defrosting anomalies. According to the findings of this study, melon juice can be used as an alternative extender for fresh Bali cattle sperm and preserve the quality of spermatozoa.

Characteristics and Kinematics of Bali Bull Sperms after Thawing Using Tris Soy Lecithin

“…The viability of the spermatozoa obtained was around 82.5%. The results of this study show that the viability rate lower when compared to the results of study stated Mujahidurrohman et al, (2023), which reached 98.60%. However, in general, the viability percentage value is similar to the study by Siahaan et al, (2012), was 85%, and Blegur et al, (2020), was 81.07%.…”

“…These results indicate that the semen volume of Bali bull in this study was lower compared to the findings of previous study byWijayanti et al, (2023), which recorded a volume of 6.28 ml. However, this semen volume is almost close to reported byMujahidurrohman et al, (2023), which was 4.92 ml and was higher than the findings reported byLeo et al, (2023) of 3.20 ml. Differences in semen volume during shelter can be influenced by several factors, such as differences in body size, a Characteristics and Kinematics of Bali Bull Sperms after Thawing Using Tris Soy Lecithin Available online at: https://jazindia.com -482 -offspring…”

“…The quality of fresh semen from Bali bull in microscopic observations shows that the average spermatozoa concentration is around 3759.5 million per milliliter (ml). These results indicate that the spermatozoa concentration in this study was higher compared to several previous study, state by Mujahidurrohman et al, (2023) was 1684.4 million/ml and by Wijayanti et al, (2023), was 1646 million/ml. However, this result is lower than the study by Tethool et al, (2022), which recorded a concentration of was 7404.94 million/ml.…”
