Abstract


Currently the application of Arti cial Insemination (AI) Reproductive Technology has been urged to be developed in the remote area. The applications of these technologies were to accelerate the population of Bali Cattle in remote areas. The increase in income of farmers is done by increasing the number of births, the number of pregnancy and the number of breeding. Increasing the genetic quality becomes an important factor for remote areas for accelerate the increase in the income of farmers. The limitation of Arti cial Insemination Equipment such as Liquid Nitrogen (N2) for maintaining the frozen cement Bali cattle is the big problem recently. Without liquid N2 would impossible to maintain the spermatozoa still a live to apply the AI in the dif cult area. To solve the problem we need to preservation the cement without frozen method, which will not need N2 liquid. The availability of good cement becomes a critical success factor. Waste from slaughterhouses (RPH) in the form of a bull testicle and good genetic quality can be utilized in the form of spermatozoa using semen collection method from epididymis are expected to be used as a liquid cement to AI. Liquid nitrogen must be produced by special chemical plant and are usually located in urban areas or areas that are easily affordable transportation. This research has used the tannins as a substance that can prolong life of bull sperm without freezing methods. These researches showed that two methods production of cement could improve the AI program and increased the pregnancy rate of Bali Cattle at remote area. By this cement/sperm we can serve the sperm for AI in the remote area. The program will continue until the result of NTT as a source of national cattle and calf birth Bali cattle. This succeed will be a pilot project to applied this technology in the different areas where lack of equipment and facilities to increase the cattle population in Indonesia.
