Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the ultrastructure of Gaga chicken spermatozoa after freezing-thawing with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) supplementation in egg yolk lactate ringer diluent. The 3 Gaga chickens used were 10 months old, semen was collected using massage technique, diluted with egg yolk lactate ringer (EOL) with 2 treatments, namely EOL without CoQ10 and EOL with 300 μM CoQ10 supplementation. The diluted semen was packed in straws, equilibrated for 2 hours, pre-freezing for 10 minutes, freezing for 24 hours and thawing. Fresh semen and post-thawing semen were prepared, coated and observed using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The results of the study were observed descriptively. The results of the study showed that fresh semen had intact spermatozoa ultrastructure conditions in the head, middle and tail sections, while post-thawing semen experienced damage to the head, middle and tail sections with control treatment and no damage to spermatozoa occurred with CoQ10 treatment. The conclusion of this study is that Coenzyme Q10 supplementation in egg yolk lactate ringer diluent is able to maintain intact ultrastructure in Gaga chicken spermatozoa.
