- Abstract
Fermented feed made from water hyacinth contain high nutrition, increase goat weight, improve carcass quality and improve the reproduction system of goats. The aims of this study were determining the effect of fermege formula 3 on the quality of goat spermatozoa was compared to conventional feed. This study was experimental research with two treatment were conventional feed as a control and fermege formula 3 feed that gave for two groups of goats. Each treatment with 10 replications. The goat in this research was given each kind of feed 2 times each day for 12 weeks in the morning and evening as much as 2% of the body weight of goats. Parameters were observed in this research was the sperm quality included macroscopic aspects (volume, odor, color, pH, viscosity) and microscopic (viability, mass and individual motility). The results of this study indicate that the quality of goat sperm in macroscopic aspects in both treatments did not show differences except in the viscosity parameter. However, on the microscopic aspects of goat sperm with fermege formula 3 was better than goat sperm with conventional feed.
