Abstract
Abstract | The fertility of goats can be seen from various parameters of sperm quality. Good sperm quality is very
influential on reproductive efficiency. Vitamin E plays a role in male fertility because it can increase testicular weight,
sperm count or concentration, sperm motility, and vitality. L-carnitine is an amino acid compound and is able to provide
energy so that it
can help
improve
sperm
quality.
The
objectives of this
research
were to find out the
sperm
quality
of
Jawarandu
goats
after
oral
administration
of
vitamin
E
and
L-carnitine.
The
research
used
16
Jawarandu
male
goats,
with a
completely
randomized design
(CRD) using 4
treatments,
control
(P0),
administration of vitamin E 50
IU
(P1), administration of L-carnitine 50 mg (P2), and administration of a combination of vitamins E 50 IU and L-car-
nitine 50 mg (P3). The data from the research on sperm consistency and mass motility were analyzed descriptively. In
contrast, the volume, individual motility, concentration, and percentage of live sperm were analyzed using analysis of
variance ANOVA. The results showed that the administration of vitamin E and L-carnitine exerted a very significant
effect on motility (P<0.01), the concentration, and the percentage of live sperm (P<0.05) but did not affect the sperm
volume and abnormalities (P>0.05). In conclusion, the combination of vitamin E and L-carnitine gave the best results
on the sperm quality of the Jawarandu Goat.
