Abstract

Aims: Determine the motility of spermatozoa in fresh goat semen after being given turmeric extract. Study Design:  Randomized Block Design. Place and Duration of Study: Sample: Galang, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia, between December 2022 and January 2023. Methodology: Giving turmeric extract to the goat once a day. The treatment included adding 0ml, 25 ml, 50 ml, 75 ml, and 100 ml turmeric extract. The parameter observed was the percentage of motility spermatozoa in fresh goats semen. The preparation of turmeric extract, Feeding goats using turmeric extract every day at 08.00, collection of fresh semen, evaluating motility spermatozoa. This  research obtained  conducted  using  a  Randomized  Block  Design  consisting  of  5  treatment  levels  and  five replications. Semen storage using 30 Bucks, which has done for three days. Results: The addition of turmeric extract 0 ml showed an motility value of 65%, 25 ml = 70%, 50 ml = 75%, 75 ml = 75% and 100 ml = 75%. The analysis of variance showed that the results give a real impact on the motility of spermatozoa. The results showed that the addition of turmeric extract had significant effect (P <0.01). Conclusion: Adding 50 ml of turmeric extract was the best result on spermatozoa motility in fresh goat semen.
