ABSTRACT
Various efforts have been made to conserve the Kintamani dog, and one such approach is through artificial insemination (AI). To ensure optimal results in artificial insemination, understanding the factors that influence its success is crucial. This study aimed to investigate the impact of different transport times (0 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours) on the motility and viability of chilled semen on Kintamani dogs. The study used a completely randomized design, with four treatments and six replications. In experiment 1, sample examined immediately after added extender, experiment 2, 3 and 4 were. The results of the study found that the average motility percentages for semen transported at 0 hours, 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours were 91.00% ± 0.89, 90.83% ± 0.75, 90.17% ± 0.75, and 89.83% ± 0.75, respectively. Similarly, the average viability percentages for the same transport times were 82.00% ± 0.89, 81.66% ± 1.03, 81.66% ± 1.03, and 80.67% ± 1.03. Although there appeared to be a decline in semen quality, statistical analysis did not reveal significant differences. In conclusion, chilled semen from Kintamani Dogs transported for up to 3 hours remains suitable for artificial insemination.
