The addition of antibiotics has been done to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the liquid semen. One of antibiotic that often used is penicillin. The addition of sweet orange essential oil is expected to further suppress the growth of bacteria because it contains antibacterial. The research objective was to determine the value of the percentage Membrane Integrity and Acrosome Integrity on Simmental liquid semen with the addition penicillin and sweet orange essential oil. The method used was experimental using Completely Randomized Design with 5 treatments and 5 replications. The treatment was addition 0%, 0,25%; 0.5%; 0.75% and 1% sweet orange essential oil on tris yolk and penicillin extender.
