Masters in Animal Husbandry Comprehensive Exam Held Online

Yesterday, September 18, 2020, Masters in Animal Husbandry (MPt) program conducted a comprehensive examination for Suharyanta via video teleconference.

Suharyanta defended his research titled “Fresh Semen Quality of Simmental Cattle Across Different Seasons.” His study set out to analyze semen quality in Simmental cattle during two distinct seasons; the dry season and the rainy season.

Three key findings emerged from the research. First, seasonal differences between dry and rainy periods showed no significant effect on fresh semen quality when measured by volume and concentration. Second, descriptive analysis indicated that the color and consistency of fresh semen from Simmental bulls tended to be better during the dry season than the rainy season. Finally, overall fresh semen quality in Simmental cattle proved superior in the dry season compared to the rainy season.

Suharyanta’s examination panel comprised two supervisors, Dr. Ir. Badat Muwakhid, MP, and Dr. Ir. Sumartono, MP who also serves as Head of the MPt Study Program along with two examiners, Dr. Ir. Inggit Kentjonowaty, MP, Dean of Universitas Islam Malang’s Faculty of Animal Husbandry, and Dr. Ir. Usman Ali.

Congratulations, Mr. Suharyanta! (Nad/Al/PPS)
