Abstract :
The aimed of this study is to asses fresh semen quality of merino sheep that can be used Artificial Insemination program of frozen semen as well as liquid semen in Teaching Farm of Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Airlangga University. Semen was collected twice a week using artificial vagina from two mature merino sheeps. The study was descriptive and presented in the form of figure and tables. Parameter observed was featuring macroscopic (volume, smell, colour, consistency, pH) and featuring microscopic (motility, concentration, life percentage spermatozoa and percentage abnormality spermatozoa).
