Egg yolk, and RingerAos Lactate solution Introduction Artificial insemination (AI) is an assisted reproductive technology essential in improving quality and quantity of poultry population.
Semen obtained from selected superior cocks should be stored for an extended period before being inseminated into hen reproductive tract.
This required the development of appropriate conditions for short-term .
iquid seme.
and long-term .
rozen seme.
Dilution and storage methods allow for more accessible transportation to distant sites, fertilize more females, and increase the utilization of semen from superior males (Lake.
Aukaszewicz et al.
, 2.
The most frequently used technology for storing poultry semen for short periods .
ours or days at low temperature.
is chilling technology in which diluents has an important role for maintaining the quality of spermatozoa.
It has long been known that the administration of diluent is essential in maintaining the viability of spermatozoa in vitro (Bilgili et al.
, 1.
Diluted poultry semen can be stored for up to 24 h without compromising its viability and fertility (Donoghue and Wishart, 2.
The diluent should contain nutrients that will be used as an energy source for spermatozoa.
addition, the diluent used must be able to maintain a pH level and osmolarity that are similar to the original conditions (Bustani and Baiee, 2.
Research on finding a suitable diluent for storing poultry semen is still being carried out, especially since the biochemical composition in poultry semen plasma was identified for the first time (Zong et al.
, 2.
Several unique buffer solutions can be used as a diluent for chicken semen (Bootwalla and Miles, 1.
with additional ingredients such as skim milk, egg albumin, gentamicin sulfate (Sexton, 1.
, caproic acid (Lake and Ravie, 1.
, egg yolk and antibiotics (Magfira et al.
, 2.
The diluent commonly used in chicken semen is Ringer's Lactate solution (Danang et al.
Jaswandi et al.
, 2023.
Junaedi et al.
, 2016.
Solihati et al.
, 2.
Ringer's Lactate solution consists of mineral salts with pH .
and isotonic properties that can support spermatozoa motility for longer.
Chicken semen contains electrolyte elements such as sodium chloride, calcium, potassium, sodium, and magnesium.
Ringer's Lactate solution has the same sodium chloride content as electrolyte elements from chicken semen plasma, such as sodium, chloride, calcium, and magnesium (Solihati et al.
, 2.
The study's results (Danang et al.
, 2.
showed that chicken semen in Ringer's Lactate solution lasted 18 h after being ejaculated.
Adding 5% egg yolk in Ringer's Lactate progressive spermatozoa motility than 10% Ananda et al.
Sperm Longevity and Motility in RingerAos Lactate Solution with Addition of Egg Yolk (Hidayat, 2.
The addition of egg yolk can help sperm to withstand cold shock (Amirat et al.
, 2.
Egg yolk contains a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) fraction (Moussa et al.
, 2.
LDL can interact specifically with semen plasma proteins and has a very high binding capacity (Manjunath and Thyrien.

(AuBalenggekAy: Minang languag.
KBC's melodious and unique crowing sound is thought to be the only chicken nation with the cawing type of AuBalenggekAy in the world (Rusfidra.
That is why KBC has a high position for the Minangkabau people (Fumihito et al.
, 1.
Through letter number 2919/Kpts/OT.
140/6/2011,
the Minister of Agriculture decided that the KBC has been designated as a national livestock family.
Based on color, there are at least five KBC phenotypes that are most common in West Sumatra, namely Biriang with a red neck, back, and loin color.
Jalak with yellow shank and beak, chest, wings, and tail feathers are black, and tail feathers and waist are yellowish.
Kinantan with white fur, legs, beak, eyes, wings, tail and neck.
Kuriak with spotted plumage, black eyes, legs, and beak.
and Taduang with black legs, beak and eyes (Muryanto and Pramono, 2.
Phenotypic differences between males allegedly contributed to differences in spermatozoa quality (Gee et al.
, including differences in storability .
at low temperatures (SiudziEska and Aukaszewicz.
This difference causes the diluent to have different conditions to maintain its viability (Lake.
Therefore, it is necessary to study the effect of Ringer's Lactate solution added with egg yolk on the longevity and motility of KBC spermatozoa.
Materials and Methods Extender preparation The sperm diluent was made from Ringer's Lactate solution (PT.

Semen is evaluated every 24 h to see changes in motility while in the refrigerator.
Design experiment and data analysis The study was conducted using a randomized block design (RBD) and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) for fresh semen evaluation data and two ways for longevity and motility data.
If there was a difference, a Duncan test was carried out with a 95% significance level.

Furthermore, the observations in this study found that the color and consistency of semen in KBC were classified as usual, namely white and The consistency and color of KBC semen in this study tended to be the same when compared to Pelung chickens (Junaedi and Husnaeni, 2.

Differences in the degree of acidity can be influenced by individual differences, motility, and metabolism of spermatozoa (Mphaphathi et al.
The average motility of KBC spermatozoa shown in this study was 70.

It is essential to know the motility of spermatozoa considering that motility will significantly affect the speed of spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract so that it can increase fertilization rates (Danang et al.

The longevity of spermatozoa in local chickens has not been widely Several studies regarding longevity in local chickens have been reported in Kampung chickens with a longevity of more than 4.
(Indrawati et al.

The longevity of KBC spermatozoa in this study was also not much different from previous reports, with a longevity of 5.

Research on the longevity of spermatozoa has previously been reported in other animals, such as dogs with 3.
(Wicaksono and Arifiantini, 2.
and horses with a longevity of 3-5 d (Bozkurt et al.
, 2.
In their report.
Bozkurt et al.
said that the longevity of spermatozoa depends on the concentration of spermatozoa and the extender used.
Furthermore.
Helfenstein et al.
added that longevity is also affected by the tail length of spermatozoa, where spermatozoa with a long tail usually show high motility with short longevity.
In contrast, spermatozoa with short tails will have extended longevity despite low motility.
Spermatozoa motility of Kokok Balenggek chicken in four different extenders The results showed that the motility of KBC spermatozoa in Ringer's Lactate solution added with chicken egg yolks and stored at 4Ae5AC showed a decrease in line with storage time.
The decrease percentage every 24 h of storage ranges from 9% to 30%.
At 24 h, it was seen that the motility of KBC spermatozoa in each extender decreased.
However, treatment with a single Ringer's Lactate solution showed the highest motility .

27%).
It was feasible to proceed to the artificial insemination stage, where the motility standard for insemination was at least 40% (Arifiantini, 2.
Motility continued to decrease with observation time .
and 72 .
, with motility below 40% and unsuitable for insemination (Table .
Decreasing the storage temperature is one of the most commonly used cryopreservation Low temperatures decrease metabolic activity, which in turn can extend the life span of spermatozoa (Barbas and Mascarenhas, 2.
The temperature used in this study was 4Ae5AC, where at this temperature, the spermatozoa could still carry out metabolic activity even though it was In addition, drastic temperature changes can trigger stress on spermatozoa, where there is a change in the lipid structure of the spermatozoa cell membrane (Watson, 2.
, so the selection of an extender is essential in the preservation process in order to maintain the longevity and motility of spermatozoa until it is used for artificial In this study, the egg yolk used could not maintain the motility of KBC spermatozoa.
The egg yolks used in this study were purebred chicken egg Widiastuti et al.
reported that the spermatozoa motility of Pelung chicken diluted using purebred chicken egg yolk was lower than using quail egg yolk and duck egg yolk.
So the type of egg yolk used in this study is thought to affect the motility of KBC spermatozoa.
In a study conducted by Widiastuti et al.
, the egg yolk concentration used was 10%, while the highest concentration in this study was only 5%.
So it is necessary to conduct further research by increasing the concentration of egg yolk and the type of egg yolk used to study the characteristics of KBC liquid semen.
In general, the protein content in chicken spermatozoa membranes is as much as 50%, which besides acting as an energy source, this protein c o n s i s t s of integral .

Sperm Longevity and Motility in RingerAos Lactate Solution with Addition of Egg Yolk glycocalyx (Hammerstedt and Graham, 1.
Egg yolk added to the diluent should be able to support cells in maintaining their viability and motility.
This is because egg yolks contain phospholipids which play a role in replacing cell membrane phospholipids damaged by cold shock.
However, in this study, the addition of egg yolk in diluent was not able to maintain the motility of KBC Al-Ahmad et al.
reported that the granules contained in egg yolk could prevent metabolic turnover, and its sustainability would decrease spermatozoa motility.
Vera-Munoz et al.
added that diluent added with LDL taken from egg yolks was found to be more able to maintain spermatozoa motility than whole egg This is because the complex chemical content in egg yolks has disappeared and is no longer in contact with spermatozoa.
This is reinforced in research conducted by Magfira et al.
, where administration of LDL isolated from egg yolks is better able to maintain motility than using egg yolks.
The failure to maintain spermatozoa motility in this study is also thought to be related to changes in pH during the preservation In this study, the storage temperature used was 4Ae5AC, at which the spermatozoa were still active and metabolizing and would lower the pH of the diluent.
Furthermore, the time used in this study is also thought to have contributed to the increase in spermatozoa mortality.
Dead spermatozoa will have a toxic effect on surviving spermatozoa and lower the pH of the diluent, so the longer the storage time, the higher the mortality rate of spermatozoa (Solihati et al.
, 2.
Spermatozoa of the Jalak phenotype showed lower motility reduction in each diluent than other KBC phenotypes .

resistance to preservation processes (SiudziEska and Aukaszewicz, 2.
KBC sperm of Jalak phenotype had better motility than from other phenotype groups.
It is suspected that the Jalak phenotype has carotenoids which act as antioxidants to fight free radicals during storage.
Yellow, orange, and red pigmentation in most birds results from the production of carotenoids (Koch et , 2.
Carotenoids are non-enzymatic antioxidants that can function to protect sperm from oxidative stress (Triques et al.
, 2.
Carotenoids are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is closely related to the function of mitochondria as a place for aerobic cell respiration (Hill et al.
, 2.
The carotenoid content suspected to be present in the KBC phenotype of the Jalak phenotype can protect sperm from damage caused by free radicals so that it has the lowest abnormality compared to the other three Poultry semen is very sensitive to preservation due to the different morphology of The smaller surface of spermatozoa causes avian spermatozoa to be more sensitive to osmotic pressure (Long, 2.
The low motility of spermatozoa in this study could be caused by several things, such as the extender being incompatible with KBC semen.
Some extenders that are often used in chicken semen include Bestville Poultry Semen Extender/BPSE (Telnoni et al.
, 2.
Tris-Skim Milk (Bustani and Baiee, 2.
Ringer Lactate-Low Density Lipoprotein chicken or quail (Magfira et al.
, 2.
, and a combination of coconut water, egg yolk, and fructose (Rochmi and Sofyan, 2.
Another possibility is that KBC has low freezability.
Different types of chickens are reported to produce differences in amino acid content in seminal plasma (Santiago-Moreno et al.
, 2.
Conclusions The most extended longevity was found in KBC spermatozoa with the Jalak phenotype, which was diluted using single Ringer's Lactate solution.
Administration of egg yolk in Ringer's Lactate solution was not able to maintain the motility of KBC spermatozoa when stored at 4Ae5AC for 48Ae72 Acknowledgement This research is supported and funded by Universitas Andalas through the Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian Masyarakat (LPPM) in the Scheme of Riset Dosen Pemula (RDP) year 2022 with contract number 359/KPT/R/PTNBH/UNAND/2022.
