INSEMINASI BUATAN DENGAN SEMEN CAIR PENGGANTI PEJANTAN PADA KELOMPOK MITRA USAHA PETERNAK KAMBING DI KELURAHAN RUM KOTA TIDORE KEPULAUAN

The shortage of pempek male goats due to high slaughter makes it difficult for partner breeders to carry out natural mating. The alternative is to use artificial insemination technology as a substitute for male pempek. The purpose of this service activity is to help partners who have difficulty mating their goats naturally. Using the artificial vagina of goat ejaculate, a 2.5 year old male stud was accommodated, mixed with coconut water diluent mixed with 10% egg yolk. Liquid semen was inseminated in 8 female recipients who were in heat. After days 19, 20, 21 post IB, the female recipients were observed for symptoms of estrus (NRR1), = 3 (37.5%) and NRR2 4 tails (50%) out of a total of 8 female recipients. Pregnant female = 2(25%)

The Effect of Using Papaya and Watermelon Juice as a Non-Synthetic Buffer on the Quality of Kacang Goat's (Capra Hircus) Liquid Semen During Cold Storage at 5oC

This study examines the role of non-synthetic buffers from watermelon and papaya juice added to coconut water diluent on the liquid semen quality of Kacang goats during cold storage at 5oC for three months. An experimental method was used in which semen from a 2.5-year-old male was collected twice a week using an artificial vagina. The primary ingredients include young coconut water, Viridis, watermelon, papaya, NaHCO3, and Egg Yolk (KT). Furthermore, the observed variables were individual motility, viability, and abnormality. This study used a Randomized Block Design (RAK)) with 3 treatments and 10 replications, namely P0: Coconut Water + NaHCO3 + 10% KT, P1: Coconut Water + Watermelon Juice + 10% KT, and P2: Coconut Water + Papaya Juice + 10% KT. The data were analyzed using Variety Analysis. The results showed the treatment had a significant effect (P0.01) on abnormality at all storage times. It can be concluded that the use of watermelon and papaya juice as non-synthetic buffers in coconut water diluent on Kacang goat semen affects motility and viability but has no effect on abnormality

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahuai pemberian silase kulit pisang terhadap produktifitas ternak kambing yang meliputi pertambahan berat badan, konsumsi dan konversi ransum. Bahan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah 12 ekor ternak Kambing yang berumur antar 4 sampai 6 bulan,dengan berat berkisar antara 10 kg. Pakan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah hijauan dan silase kulit pisang serta ampas tahu sebagai konsentrat. Perlakuan yang digunakan yaitu R1 =  100% hijauan + Konsentrat, R2 = 75% hijauan + 25% silase + Konsentrat, R3 = 50% hijauan + 50% silase + Konsentrat, R4 = 25% hijauan + 75% silase + Konsentrat. Variabel yang diamati meliputi konsumsi, pertambahan bobot badan, dan konversi ransum kambing kacang. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis dengan menggunakan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL). Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa bahwa Pemberian silase kulit pisang (Musa pariciae) sampai dengan 75% tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap pertambahan bobot badan, konsumsi dan konversi  ransum kambing kacang
