Abstract: Research about effect of glycerol level in two different extenders on post thawed sperm quality of crossbreed Etawah goat has conducted in breeding station and Animal Reproduction and AI Laboratory, Animal Husbandry Faculty Padjadjaran University. Aim of this research is to know the effect of glycerol level on sperm quality. This research used an experimental method with randomized block design. There were five type of treatment glycerol level (P1 = 5, P2 = 6, P3 = 7, P4 = 8 and P5 = 9%) and 5 Groups of goat with 2 replications. The 2 different extender were used as an extenders in frozen semen processing (egg yolk citrate and TRIS egg yolk). Research parameter of this research were motility, Intact Acrosome Cap (IAC) and Intact Plasma Membrane (IPM) post thawed sperm of crossbreed Etawah goat. As an conclusion; glycerol level affects on post thawing sperm quality of crossbreed Etawah sperm and the level of 6% glycerol is the optimum level to produced post thawed sperm quality, IAC and IPM which is qualified for AI program.
