Description
Anak Agung Gde Oka Dharmayudha and colleagues tested in 2026 whether leaf extract from the Spondias pinnata tree can keep dog semen healthy during chilled storage. Their breed was the Kintamani, a Balinese dog of conservation interest. Semen from four dogs was pooled, diluted in a coconut-water-based extender, and split into a plain batch and three batches with rising extract doses. Quality was checked over 72 hours in the refrigerator.
The lowest extract dose worked best, preserving sperm movement and survival better than the plain extender, while the DNA held up well for at least three days in every batch. Higher doses gave no extra benefit. The authors present the recipe as a cheaper, locally sourced option for short-term semen storage.
