Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of prolonged use of BTS
semen diluent on motility, viability, abnormalities, and the degree of storage (pH) of
landrace pig semen. The semen used was fresh semen from a 4-year-old Landrace pig
stud. This study used an experimental method using a completely randomized design
(CRD) with four treatments (P1 10%, P2 10%, P3 10% and P4 10%) and four
replications so that there were 16 experimental units. The results showed that the
presentation of BTS in semen diluent was not significantly different (P>0.05) on the
motility of spermatozoa with the average value of each treatment being P0 (68.25%),
P1 (58.25%), P2 (38, 50%) and P3 (10.75%). The percentage of spermatozoa
viability was significantly different (P<0.05) against the Viability of Spermatozoa
with the average value of each treatment being P0 (87.%), P2 (79.%), P2 (42%) and
P3 (13.75% ). Percentage of spermatozoa abnormalities resulting from analysis of
variance (ANOVA) from each treatment there was a non-significant difference
(P>0.05) where the values were P0 (9%), P1 (9%), P2 (9.7%) and P3 (10 ,5%). The
degree of difference was the treatment (pH) was not significant (P>0.05) with
respective values P0 (8.75, P1 (8.25), P2 (8.25) and P3 (8.). ) can maintain motility,
viability, spermatozoa abnormalities and Landrace Pig semen pH during 2 days of
storage.
