PENGARUH FALSE MOUNTING TERHADAP KUALITAS SEMEN SAPI LIMOUSIN DAN SIMMENTAL DI BALAI INSEMINASI BUATAN LEMBANG

Abstract

THE EFFECT OF FALSE MOUNTING ON SEMEN QUALITY OF LIMOUSIN AND SIMMENTAL BULL IN LEMBANG ARTIFICAL INSEMINATION CENTER. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of false mounting on the quality of Limosin and Simental bull semen at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center. The 55 individu of Limousin and 55 Simmental bull aging 5-9 years old have been used in thos study. The data have been collected directly in the Artificial Insemination Center Lembang - West Java Province. The data obtained in the form of macroscopic and microscopic observations on Limousin and Simmental bull include volume, pH, mass movement, spermatozoa motility and spermatozoa concentration. Data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the standard deviations, correlations coefficients and the T test. The variables measured in this study were macroscopic and microscopic quality of semen. The results of this study indicate that the effect of false mounting on the average semen volume of Limousin and Simmental bull is maximum at 3, 4, and 5 times false mounting but there was not significantly difference between the amount of false mounting, as well as the average volume, pH, mass movement, motility of spemetozoa and concentration spermatozoa are not significantly different. It was concluded that false mounting in Limousin and Simmental bulls in Lembang Artificial Insemination Center had no significantly effect on the quality of macroscopic and microscopic semen.
