Abstract
This research aims to study the sperm characteristics of Gembrong goat in Bali before and after freezing, using citrate-egg yolk (CEY) and tris-egg yolk (TEY) diluents. The sperm of six goats was collected using an artificial vagina. The results showed that there were no significant differences between the use of CEY and TEY diluents on motility, viability, and abnormalities of spermatozoa neither before nor after freezing. Before freezing, motility was CEY 85 ± 3.5, TEY 85 ± 2.1; viability was CEY 90 ± 3.5, TEY 92 ± 2.1; and abnormalities were CEY 11 ± 3.5, TEY 10 ± 2, 1, while after freezing, motility was CEY 45 ± 3.5 b, TEY 46 ± 4.1; viability was CEY 70 ± 3.5, TEY 72 ± 4.1; and abnormalities were CEY 15 ± 3.5, TEY 16 ± 4.1. However, the freezing process significantly (p < 0.01) lowered sperm quality in terms of motility, viability, and abnormalities, both for CEY and TEY diluents. In CEY diluent, motility before was 85 ± 3.5 and after was 45 ± 3.5, viability before was 90 ± 3.5 and after was 70 ± 3.5, and abnormalities before were 11 ± 3.5 and after were 15 ± 3.5. In TEY diluent, motility before was 85 ± 2.1 and after was 46 ± 4.1, viability before was 92 ± 2.1 and after was 72 ± 4.1, and abnormalities before were 10 ± 2.1 and after were 16 ± 4.1. Dilution and freezing of Gembrong goat sperm using citrate-egg yolk and tris-egg yolk showed no significant differences, but the freezing process caused a decline in sperm quality.
