Reproductive Performance of Various Breeds of Sentul Chicken

Abstract

Abstract. This study was conducted to determine the reproductive performance of various breeds of Sentul chicken. The present research was assigned in an experiment model with a completely randomized design (CRD), with 5 breeds of Sentul chicken as treatments, namely Abu Sentul chicken = SA; Batu Sentul Chicken=SB; Emas Sentul Chicken=SE; Debu Sentul Chicken=SD; and Geni Sentul Chicken=SG. Each treatment was repeated 5 times with 4 female and 1 male birds each, thus the total number of chicken were 100 females and 25 males with an average initial female weight was 1,336.05±84.99 g and male weight was 2,050.53±121.78 g. The experiment was conducted for 14 weeks started from 20 week old until 34 week old. Variables measured were spermatozoa production, fertility, and hatchability. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and HSD test. Results showed that various breeds of Sentul chicken had no significant effect (P>0.05) on spermatozoa production, and had significant effect (P<0.05) on fertility and hatchability. It can be concluded that spermatozoa production of various breeds of Sentul chicken are relatively similar, while fertility and hatchability of Emas chicken was lower than that of Abu Sentul chicken and Batu Sentul Chicken. Key words:Reproductive performance, spermatozoa production, fertility, hatchability, Sentul chicken Abstrak. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengkaji kinerja reproduksi berbagai jenis ayam Sentul. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode eksperimen dengan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), Perlakuan adalah 5 jenis ayam Sentul yang terdiri atas ayam Sentul Abu = SA; ayam Sentul Batu = SB; ayam Sentul Emas = SE; ayam Sentul Debu = SD; dan ayam Sentul Geni = SG. Setiap perlakuan diulang 5 kali masing-masing terdiri dengan 4 betina dan 1 ekor jantan, sehingga jumlah total ayam sentul ada 100 ekor betina dan 25 ekor jantan dengan berat awal rata-rata ayam betina adalah 1.336,05±84,99 g dan berat ayam jantansebesar 2.050,53±121,78 g. Penelitian dilakukan selama 14 minggu mulai dari umur 20 minggu sampai 34 minggu. Variabel yang diukur adalah produksi spermatozoa, fertilitas, dan daya tetas. Data yang diperoleh kemudiandianalisis variasi dan dilanjutkan uji BNJ. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berbagai jenis ayam Sentul tidak berpengaruh (P>0,05) terhadap produksi spermatozoa, dan berpengaruh nyata (P<0,05) pada fertilitas dan daya tetas. Penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa produksi spermatozoa berbagai jenis ayam Sentul relatif sama, sedangkan fertilitas dan daya tetas ayam Sentul Emas lebih rendah dibandingkan ayam Sentul Abu dan ayam Sentul Batu.

Effects of vitamin E supplement and semen collection time on sperm quality of locally Noi crossbred cocks

“…Similar to vitamin E results, the frequency of semen collection in Noi crossbred cocks also affected the semen pH and concentration of sperm, with the highest sperm concentration and lowest pH at every 7 days compared to every 3 days. The present result is consistent with the conclusion of Partodihardjo (1982), cited by Mugiyono et al (2015), which claim that sperm concentration depends on age, food, breed, body weight, and frequency of semen collection. McDaniel and Sexton (1977) showed that the frequency of semen collection might affect the characteristics of semen, and they suggested that chicken semen should be collected at a 48-hour interval for the long-term.…”
