Abstract
This research aimed to determine the quality of Brahman cattle spermatozoa after freezing in various diluent ingredients (Egg Yolk Citrate, Egg Yolk Tris, Skim Milk) which added vitamin C and vitamin E. The research was carried out using 4 treatments with 3 different diluent ingredients, each of which was Vitamins C and E are added to each diluent ingredient at a dose adjusted to the type of diluent agent. The treatment given is P0: Diluent without Vitamin C and E; P1: Diluent + Vitamin C; P2: Diluent + Vitamin E; and P3: Diluent + Vitamin C and Vitamin E. Research data were analyzed using analysis of variance and followed by Duncan's test at the 5% and/or 1% level for different variables. The results showed that the addition of vitamin C and vitamin E had a significant effect (P<0.05) on motility and viability in the egg yolk tris diluent and egg yolk citrate but had no significant effect (P>0.05) in the skim milk diluent. The use of different diluents had no significant effect (P>0.05) on motility, viability, and abnormalities. This research concludes that Vitamin C added to the diluent tris egg yolk, egg yolk citrate, and skim milk showed higher average motility, percentage of live spermatozoa, and abnormalities of post-freezing Brahman cow spermatozoa.
