Penambahan Vitamin E Pada Pengencer BTS Terhadap Daya Hidup Dan Motilitas Spermatozoa Babi Landrace Pada Penyimpanan 15oC

Penambahan Vitamin E Pada Pengencer BTS® Terhadap Daya Hidup Dan Motilitas Spermatozoa Babi Landrace Pada Penyimpanan 15°C (THE ADDITION OF VITAMIN E IN DILUENT BTS® OF VIABILITY AND MORTALITY OF SPERMATOZOA LANDRACE PIG STORED IN TEMPERATURE 15°C) Wayan Bebas, Geovany Larastiyani Buyona, Made Kota Budiasa Abstract The aim of the study was to determine viability and motility spermatozoa of Landrace pigs in the Beltsville Thawing Solution®(BTS) diluents with the addition of vitamin E (?-tokoferol) that was stored at a temperature 15oC for 96 hours. The form of semen used a fresh semen from the male landrace pigs two years. Semen was collected by massage method. This study used completely randomized design with four treatment groups with each are treatment I as control, treatment II with addition 300 µg/ml VitaminE , treatment III with addition 400 mg/ml of vitamin E and treatment IV with addition 500 mg/ml of vitamin E. Each group was repeated six times and then stored at a temperature 15oC for 96 hours. The results showed that addition of vitamin E significantly on the viability and motility spermatozoa of Landrace pigs. The addition of vitamin E 400 µg/ml gave the preeminent of viability and motility during storage at a temperature 15oC for 96 hours. This study concluded that the addition of vitamin E 400 µg/ml in BTS® diluents at 15oC for 96 hours was able to increase the viability and motility spermatozoa of Landrace pigs.
