Occurrence of Sperm Abnormality of Beef Cattle at Several Artificial Insemination Centers in Indonesia

In the most species studied sperm abnormalities have long been associated with male infertility and sterility. This study evaluated the sperm morphology (normality and abnormality) of beef cattle at several Artificial Insemination centers in Indonesia. Total of 142 bulls were used in this study; an ejaculate from each bull was examined. A drop of semen was placed on 3-4 glass slides, and smears were prepared and air-dried. The smears were stained with carbolfluchsin-eosin (Williams stain). Types of morphological abnormalities were recorded from 500 cells on each sample. It was recorded that 77.46% samples had low primary sperm abnormalities (10%) was found in 5.63% samples.  Pear shaped was the most frequently type of abnormality found on examined samples (2.24 ± 2.94%); while double head was the lowest (0.01 ± 0.04%).

Sperm Morphological Assessments of Friesian Holstein Bull Semen Collected From Three Artificial Insemination Centers in Indonesia

Morphologically abnormal sperm in semen has been associated with the sub fertility and sterilityfor many years. This study assessed the sperm morphology of Friesian Holstein bull semen which wascollected from three Artificial Insemination centers in Indonesia. Total of 22 bulls were used in thisstudy; an ejaculate from each bull was examined. Three to four glass slides were prepared for each bullsample; a drop of semen was placed on each glass slide, smeared, and air-dried. The smeared sampleswere stained with carbolfuchsin-eosin (Williams stain). Morphological abnormality types were recordedfrom total of 500 spermatozoa. Results demonstrated that all 22 bulls had low sperm abnormality(<10%). Pearshaped was the most frequently type of sperm abnormality found in the samples(0.81±0.93%); while detached head was the lowest (0.01±0.04%)

PENGARUH FISIOLOGIS SAPI PERAH PADA KONDISI LINGKUNGAN TERKONTROL

This research aims to determine the physiological responses of FH crossbred dairy cows kept in acontrolled microclimate barn in a tropical lowland area. Eight (8) FH crossbred cows were subjectedto two (2) treatments with 42 repetitions each, which were housed in a controlled microclimate barn.The FH crossbred cows were housed without any cooling equipment, such as sprinklers and fans (a),and then with cooling equipment, including sprinklers and fans (b), each for one (1) week. Theobserved parameters were barn temperature, body temperature, and respiratory rate in the morning(06.00), afternoon (13.00), and evening (17.00). The data were analyzed using a statistical sample Ttest with the help of SPSS. The results of the data analysis showed that the barn temperature intreatments (a) and (b) in the morning was 26±0.81 and 25.25±0.95oC, respectively, and there was nosignificant difference statistically (P&gt;0.05). However, the barn temperature in the afternoon fortreatments (a) and (b) was (33.5±0.57 and 30.25±1.70oC), respectively, and there was a significantdifference statistically (P&lt;0.05). Similarly, the barn temperature in the evening for treatments (a) and(b) was (32±0.81 and 29.25±1.5 oC), respectively, and there was a significant difference statistically(P&lt;0.05). Regarding the physiological responses of FH crossbred cows, the body temperature in themorning for treatments (a) and (b) was (37.66±0.45 and 37.21±0.47oC), respectively. The bodytemperature in the afternoon was (38.15±0.50 and 37.39±0.73oC), respectively, and in the eveningwas (38.07±0.48 and 37.43±0.45oC), respectively. There was a significant difference statistically&nbsp; (P&lt;0.05) in all three time periods. As for the respiratory rate, in the morning, there was no significantdifference statistically (P&gt;0.05) between treatments (a) and (b), with rates of (33.71±5.82 and33.28±7.78 breaths/minute), respectively. However, in the afternoon, the respiratory rate fortreatments (a) and (b) was (57.96±13.31 and 43.75±14.07 breaths/minute), respectively, and in theevening, it was (50.89±9.30 and 42.82±8.39), respectively. There was a significant differencestatistically (P&lt;0.05) for both afternoon and evening periods. Based on the research results, it can beconcluded that the controlled microclimate barn conditions have an impact on the physiologicalresponses of FH crossbred cows in the tropical lowland area.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui respons fisiologis sapi peranakan FH yang dipelihara padakondisi kandang mikroklimat terkontrol di daerah dataran rendah tropis.

SPERM MORPHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENTS OF FRIESIAN HOLSTEIN BULL SEMEN COLLECTED FROM THREE ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION CENTERS IN INDONESIA

Morphologically abnormal sperm in semen has been associated with the sub fertility and sterilityfor many years. This study assessed the sperm morphology of Friesian Holstein bull semen which wascollected from three Artificial Insemination centers in Indonesia. Total of 22 bulls were used in thisstudy; an ejaculate from each bull was examined. Three to four glass slides were prepared for each bullsample; a drop of semen was placed on each glass slide, smeared, and air-dried. The smeared sampleswere stained with carbolfuchsin-eosin (Williams stain). Morphological abnormality types were recordedfrom total of 500 spermatozoa. Results demonstrated that all 22 bulls had low sperm abnormality(&lt;10%). Pearshaped was the most frequently type of sperm abnormality found in the samples(0.81±0.93%); while detached head was the lowest (0.01±0.04%)

Kajian Morfologi Spermatozoa Sapi Simmetal di Beberapa Balai Inseminasi Buatan Indonesia

Morphological abnormality of sperm in semen of males have been associated with sub fertility and sterility for many years. This study to evaluated spermatozoa morphology especially primary abnormality of Simmental bull spermatozoa at several Artificial Insemination centre in Indonesia. One ejaculated were examined from each bull. Total of 70 bulls were tested in this study. One drop of semen was placed on each of 3-4 glass slides, and smears were prepared and air-dried. The spermatozoa were stained with carbolfluchsin-eosin (Williams stained). The types of morphological abnormalities were counted from 500 cells. Result demonstrated that from 70 bulls samples, 48 bulls (68.6%) were indicated low sperm abnormality (10%) were found in 6 bulls (8.57%). The highest type of abnormality found in all samples was pearshape (2.81±0.36%) and lowest were macrocephalus and double head (0.01±0.01%
