Performa dan Karakteristik Semen serta Freezability Spermatozoa Ayam IPB-D1 dengan Konsentrasi Immunoglobulin Yolk Berbeda

Abstract

Ayam IPB-D1 merupakan jenis ayam lokal dari hasil persilangan antara jantan F1 PS (Pelung x Sentul) dengan betina F1 (Kampung x Ras pedaging paren stock Cobb). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi performa, kualitas semen, dan freezability spermatozoa ayam IPB-D1 pada konsentrasi Immunoglobulin Yolk (IgY) berbeda. Materi yang digunakan yaitu ayam IPB-D1 jantan sebanyak 20 ekor, terdiri atas 10 ekor ayam dengan konsentrasi IgY rendah dan 10 ekor IgY tinggi dengan ayam umur 8 bulan. Variabel yang diamati yaitu performa yakni konsumsi pakan, pertambahan berat badan, morbiditas dan mortalitas, kualitas semen segar dan kualitas semen beku (freezability). Data dianalis menggunakan uji-t menggunakan program SAS dengan membandingkan antara konsentrasi IgY tinggi dan IgY rendah. Hasil analisis performa ayam IPB-D1 tidak berbeda (P>0.05) terhadap IgY yang berbeda. Hasil kualitas semen menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap konsistensi semen dan motilitas, viabilitas, konsentrasi serta konsentrasi spermatozoa per ejakulat. Ayam IPB D-1 pada dua konsentrasi IgY tidak berbeda nyata (P>0.05) terhadap motilitas semen segar dan recovary rate, namun Ayam IPB D-1 dengan konsentrasi IgY tinggi memiliki motilitas spermatozoa pasca thawing lebih baik daripada (P<0.05) Ayam dengan konsentrasi IgY yang rendah.

Production Performance and Sperm Characteristics of Quail (Coturnix-coturnix japonica) with Different Concentrations of Yolk Immunoglobulin

“…Quail are known to be highly resistant to disease (Rabiu-Mohammed & Ejiofor 2015). The results of this study confirm reports by Ariyanti et al (2019) and Setiawan et al (2021) that low or high concentrations of IgY do not affect production performance in chicken and quail.…”

“…Ariyanti et al (2019) reported that Sentul chickens with high IgY concentrations (> 9.30±0.45 mg mL -1 ) potentially fertilize more hens. Setiawan et al (2021) reported that IPB-D1 chickens with high IgY concentrations (>9.36±2.88 mg mL -1 ) had better sperm motility and viability compared to low IgY concentrations. Both researchers found that IgY concentration did not affect performance, but high IgY concentrations in chickens showed the potential to fertilize more hens and better sperm motility and viability compared to chickens with low IgY.…”

“…Macroscopic assessments include semen volume, color, consistency, and pH, while microscopic assessments include mass movement, motility, viability, concentration, and sperm abnormalities (Malik et al 2013;Elagib et al 2012). Several researchers have studied the relationship between IgY concentration and cock performance, including Ariyanti et al (2019) and Setiawan et al (2021). Ariyanti et al (2019) reported that Sentul chickens with high IgY concentrations (> 9.30±0.45 mg mL -1 ) potentially fertilize more hens.…”

The Effect of Vitamin E and Selenium Injections on The Semen Quality of Bangkok Roosters (Gallus domesticus)

“…Injection of vitamin E and selenium 0.9 ml/head showed a decrease compared to injection of 0.6 ml/head to sperm concentration. Some factors that will affect the concentration in chickens are due to feed, body weight, and chicken type [16].…”
