The feed provided consisted of local forages (king grass, bengala grass, legumes) plus a mixture of reinforcing feed with a crude protein content of 14%. The observed macroscopic semen, characteristics were semen, volume, pH, color. odor and consistency. Moreover. Microscopic semen characteristics observed were spermatozoa motility, Viability membrane integrity and abnormality spermatozoa. In conclusiont supplementation of zinc-biocomplek and vitamin E has the potential to improve the quality of Spermatozoa. |
