“…During the metabolic process, spermatozoa are not able to rely solely on the endogenous antioxidants, but also require exogenous antioxidants to be added, namely in the form of vitamin C, vitamin E, polyphenols, and carotenoids (Gopi et al, 2020;Leão et al, 2021). Guava (Psidium guajava L.) is a fruit that can also be used as a functional food because it possesses antioxidant, antimicrobial, antiviral and anticancer activities (Kapoor et al, 2020). The functional properties of guava are due to its high contents of vitamin C so that it can prevent the adverse effects of free radicals such as superoxide anion radicals and hydroxyl free radicals (Siwarungson et al, 2013).…”

Indigenous chicken serve as a highly valuable germplasm for the development of the poultry industry in Indonesia. They also play an important role in rural communities as a source of meat, eggs, and additional income. This study evaluated the semen quality of indigenous chicken in the Andromed diluent supplemented with different levels of guava juice during storage at room temperature (24-25 o C) for 0, 30, 60 or 90 minutes. The semen was collected from an indigenous rooster, aged 2.5 years with body weight of 2.5 kg. A total of 10 ejaculates were collected from this rooster; the frequency of semen collection was twice a week. The semen was diluted in the Andromed diluent supplemented with guava juice at the level of 0 (control), 2, 4, or 6%. Evaluation of semen quality parameters included sperm motility, live sperm, and morphologically abnormal sperm. Data were analyzed by using two-way analysis of variance followed by Duncan Multiple Range Test to compare means. Results showed that regardless of storage time, the use of 6% guava juice had significantly higher (P<0.05) sperm motility and live sperm, but lower abnormal sperm as compared to other treatments. It was also found that regardless of guava juice level, the longer storage time continually decreased (P<0.05) the sperm motility and live sperm, but increased (P<0.05) abnormal sperm. Results also showed that there were interaction effects (P<0.05) between the level of guava juice and storage time on the sperm motility and live sperm. This study provides evidence that the addition of 6% guava juice to the Andromed diluent results in better semen quality for artificial insemination up to 60 minutes of storage at room temperature.

Due to its advantageous antioxidant phytochemical components, Psidium guajava L. has become an indispensable plant in pharmaceutical formulations, playing a crucial role in safeguarding human health. On ruminant animals, however, there has been limited investigation. The purpose of this investigation was to assess the phytochemical profiles and biological potential of Farang (P. guajava L.) leaf extracts for ruminant health. Methanolic and hexanoic extracts from various agricultural areas were prepared over a five-month period. By means of HPLC-DAD, vitamin C (ascorbic acid), essential oil (eugenol), tannin (gallic acid), cinnamic acids (caffeic acid, syringic acid, p-coumaric acid, sinapic acid, and ferulic acid), and flavonoids (catechin, rutin, myricetin, quercetin, apigenin, and kaempferol) were detected and quantified. Solvent type, but not cultivation site or sampling time, explained the observed variation in phytochemical profile. Phytochemicals were found in lower concentrations in hexanoic extracts than in methanolic extracts. Catechin and sinapic acid were discovered to be the two most abundant phytochemicals in the methanolic extract of Farang leaf, followed by other phenolic compounds, essential oils, and water-soluble vitamins. Compared with the methanolic extract, the hexanoic extract of Farang leaves was less effective at scavenging oxidation in terms of 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), nitric oxide, and superoxide, and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Hexanoic extract was found to be less protective against oxidative damage in ruminant erythrocytes than methanolic extract in terms of inhibiting hemoglobin oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and hemolysis. According to the findings of this study, the leaves of Farang (P. guajava L.) are a potential source of phytochemical compounds with wellness properties for ruminant production.
