Semen evaluation is an activity carried out to determine the quality of
semen collected and calculate the level of dilution and the amount of service
to females to be inseminated. The collected semen should be
stored in a 32 ° C water bath. Semen evaluation can be done macroscopically
(without using a microscope) and microscopically. A macroscopic
evaluation is carried out to estimate the semen quality (spermatozoa
concentration and normality of semen) in plain view, include: volume,
degree of acidity (pH), consistency or degree of thickness, color and smell of
sperm. Common microscopic evaluations include: motility of sperm, spermatozoa
concentration, viability and morphology of spermatozoa. Boar's sperm of has a 250-400 ml/ejaculate, with spermatozoa motility 70-80% and sperm cell concentration ranging from 2500-3500 x 10^6 cell/ml. Landrace boar sperm white cream color, pH 6-7, distinctive odor of sperm, and liquid consistency.
