PENGARUH BOBOT BADAN TERHADAP KUALITAS DAN KUANTITAS SEMEN SAPI SIMMENTAL

Abstract

This research was to compare semen quality and quantity of simmental cattle on the
variation of weight. The research used six heads of cattle. The method of this research was
survey method and analyze data using variety analyzing method, thus would be continued
using duncan test if there are present significan differences. Simmental cattle at medium
weight (840 and 846 kg) had more quality than other two groups of weight, which showed
from highest scale of colour, and consistency. Simmental cattle at low weight (764 and 797 kg)
showed a highest scale of pH and mass motility rather than other two groups of weight. The
research of quantity of Simmental cattle at medium weight (840 and 846 kg) group showed
highest scale of volume average at 8,5 ± 0,92 ml, individual motility average at 60,6 ± 7,95%
and amount of motil spermatozoa average at 6.082,6 ± 1.204,06 (106) rather than other groups.
Highest scale concentration had showed on low weight (746 and 797 kg) Simmental cattle
group average at 1.355,7 ± 153,60 (106/ml). The high weight (942 and 952 kg) group of
Simmental cattle showed highest amount of spermatozoa average at 10.826,9 ± 1.777,16 (106).
Simmental cattle at medium weight (840-846 kg) had better semen quality and quantity than
others.
