- Abstract
An evaluation of sperm morphology and morphometry is useful to predict sperm quality and in the diagnosis of fertile animals. The purpose of this study is to assess the morphology and morphometry of frozen-thawed Pasundan Cattle sperm, as well as the correlation between the two parameters. The sample was obtained from frozen-thawed Pasundan Cattle sperm incubated in pH 4 as acidic media, pH 7.2-7.4 as a control, and pH 11 as alkali media. After 5 minutes of incubation in media, all samples were returned to pH 7.2-7.4 by adding buffer media and immediately evaluated. The results revealed that the percentage of sperm with normal morphology was significantly lower (p<0.05) in the alkali or acidic groups compared to the control. Furthermore, the width of all sperm areas was significantly different in acidic compared to the control and alkali groups (p<0.05). There was no significant difference in treatments or control groups for the entire head and neck area morphometric (p<0.05). Moreover, the width of the sperm tail area displayed the same pattern as all widths of the sperm area. Furthermore, it can be concluded that extreme acidic and alkali media significantly impact on morphometry and morphology of frozen-thawed Pasundan Cattle sperm.
