abstract = {A rich natural resourcesuch as Coconut Water (CCW) features high concentrations of antioxidants,nutrients, amino acids, sugars, and electrolytes. These herbal extractinfusions are used in semen extenders to preserve animal sperm. In addition,CCW is important for in vitro productionof embryos. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of coconutwater as an alternative bulking agent for boar semen after equilibration at 18°for 8, 16, 24, and 48 h. Three 2- to 3-year-old Large White x Landrace boarswere used for semen collection, boar semen was collected by a glove and handtechnique, 24 ejaculates were collected and this study was replicated eighttimes. A complete randomized design was used in this study. Data were analyzedby ANOVA using Stata V12 statistical software (Stata Corp., College Station,Tex.) and treatment measures were separated using Fisher's protected t-test atsignificance values of P},
