Abstract. Eriani K, Sari N, Ihdina M, Rosnizar. 2017. The effect of equilibration time on semen freezing of local swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) with combination extender of lactose and glycerol. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 77-82. This study was to determine the different time of equilibration on semen of swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) which was diluted by adding Tris-Egg Yolk extender of lactose and glycerol cryoprotectant combination. Fresh sperm of the swamp buffalo (B. bubalis) was diluted by using Tris-Egg Yolk extender of lactose cryoprotectants combination 0 mM (L 0 ), 60 mM (L 60 ), 120 mM (L 120 ) and glycerol 3% (G 3 ), 5% (G 5 ), 7% (G 7 ) with the equilibration of 2,5, 3, and 4 hours. The parameter used in this study was the percentage of sperm motility and live treatment. The results of the 2.5-hour equilibration with a combination of cryoprotectants L 60 G 7 showed the best quality in all parameters. The results of the 3-hour equilibration with combination of cryoprotectants L 60 G 7 showed the best quality in all parameters whereas the best quality in all parameters in 4-hour equilibration was the combination of cryoprotectants L 120 G 7 .
Aceh swamp buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) are decreasing their population and genetic quality. This study was conducted to determine the influence of lactose and glycerol cryoprotectants on spermatozoa of Aceh swamp buffaloes after thawing. This study used completely a factorial randomized design with nine treatments, and five replications. Fresh semen of the Aceh swamp buffalo were diluted by using a combination extender lactose cryoprotectants 0 mM (L 0 ), 60 mM (L 60 ), 120 mM (L 120 ) and glycerol 3% (G 3 ), 5% (G 5 ), 7% (G 7 ) with the equilibration of 4 hours. The results showed that the combination of cryoprotectants L 120 G 7 influenced significantly (P < 0.05) on the quality of spermatozoa of the Aceh swamp buffalo (B. bubalis) after thawing. The percentage of sperm motility L 120 G 7 (42.60 ± 1.14); viability L 120 G 7 (55.00 ± 0.71); acrosome integrity L 120 G 7 (52.00 ± 0.71); and plasma membrane integrity L 120 G 7 (53.20 ± 1.48). The combination of lactose cryoprotectants 120 mM (L 120 ) and glycerol 7% (G 7 ) was the best combination to maintain the quality of spermatozoa of swamp buffalo. This finding could be used to define a policy for the spermatozoa storage of Aceh swamp buffalo to artificial insemination (AI).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
