ANALISA KUALITAS SEMEN SEGAR KAMBING SAANEN PADA UMUR BERBEDA DI BIB LEMBANG

Abstract

Livestock farming is one of the businesses that are widely developed by rural communities that aims
to meet daily needs. Goat farming is a business choice for the community as a reserve or practical
fund in unpredictable circumstances. The purpose of this Final Project is to increase insight and add
knowledge in the field of education, to determine the effect of age differences on the quality of fresh
semen of Saanen goats based on volume, color, consistency, pH, motility, mass movement,
concentration at the Lembang Artificial Insemination Center, West Java. Based on the results of the
study, it showed that the difference in age of livestock did not differ (P ≤ 0.05) on the quality of fresh
semen of Saanen goats. The average volume of Saanen goats aged 5 years was 1.81 ± 0.09 mL and
6 years was 2.34 ± 0.62 mL. The average color of Saanen goats aged 5 and 6 years was milky white.
The average consistency of Saanen goats aged 5 and 6 years was thick. The average pH of saanen
goats aged 5 is 6.55 ± 0.01 and 6 is 6.64 ± 0.02. The average motility of Saanen goats aged 5 is
69.35 ± 0.55% and 6th age is 75.78 ± 1.85%. The average mass movement of saanen goats aged 5
and 6 years is (++). The average concentration of saanen goats aged 5 was 2.73 ± 3.02 and 6 years
old was 2.78 ± 3.01.
