| Abstract | The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of temperature-humidity index in each season on the quality of frozen semen in Thai native chickens Deang Dok Koon (DDK) and Thai native chickens Pradu Hang Dam (PD) to improve semen quality and conserving valuable genetics of DDK and PD. The semen data from PD was used as a standard for semen quality in Thai native chickens, to be considered in future efforts to improve semen quality. The study employed a 3x2 factorial experiment in a completely randomized design (CRD). The factors studied include seasonal (summer, rainy, and winter) and breed (DDK and PD). The experiment involved 12 roosters per breed (DDK and PD), all aged 1 year. All chickens were raised in an open-air housing. Semen was collected twice a week over a total period of 24 weeks, totaling 48 times. The semen of each breed is pool semen and frozen. After thawing, the evaluation of semen quality consists of total motility, sperm progressive, and sperm viability. No significant difference was found for seasons and breed (p>0.05), but seasons showed statistically significant differences in the quality of frozen semen (p<0.05). Total motility in the rainy season (41.03%) was not different compared to summer (39.84%) and winter season (44.17%), in summer, total motility was lower than the winter season. Sperm progressiveness was highest in the winter (33.79%), while the summer (27.28%) showed no significant difference from the rainy season (26.02%). The average sperm viability in winter (67.34%) was the highest, but summer (55.61%) was not different from the rainy season (54.83%). Also, it was found that there were no statistically significant differences for the breed on the quality of frozen semen (p>0.05). In summary, the influence of seasons affects the quality of frozen semen. In the winter, it gives high-quality semen in frozen semen compared to the summer and rainy seasons. A collection of semen in the winter season is most suitable for frozen semen to preserve genetics and the quality of frozen semen of DDK and PD did not differ. |
