The Effect of Soybean Oil Calcium Soap (SOCS) and Cashew Fruit Flour (CFF) on Spermatozoa Motility of Bali Cattle Stored at 5°C

Abstract

Abstract This research was conducted to evaluate the motility of Bali cattle spermatozoa stored at 5°C. Bali cattle was given three different types of ration, those are PI: 40% field grass (RL) + 60% concentrate, P2: 40% RL + 60% concentrate supplemented by 5% soybean calcium oil soap, and P3: 40% RL + 60% of the concentrate which was supplemented by 5% COS + 10% cashew fruit flour (CFF). The variables measured were the motility of spermatozoa stored with Egg Yolk Tris diluent at 5°C and observed for 3 (three) days. This study used a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 3 replications. The data of the percentage of motility analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If there are significant differences (P <0.05) or very significant (P <0.01), then the Tukey-W-Procedure test with SPSS is continued. Bali cattle consuming P3 rations had higher motility (P <0.05) than P1 and P2. Feeding of 5% soybean oil calcium soap (SOCS) and 10% cashew fruit flour CFF had a significant influence on the motility of Bali cattle.
