Senduro Goat is one of the descendants of Etawa (PE) goats which is the result of a cross between a local goat Indonesian, namely the Kacang Goat and the Jamnapari Goat from India. This goat has a greater posture than its ancestors, the Kacang Goat. The Senduro Goat has the advantage of being able to be a meat goat because it has quite thick meat, and dairy goats because it can produce good quality milk. Goat Senduro has not been much explored, especially its reproductive profile. The purpose of this study was to examine the profiles of fresh semen from Senduro Goat to be stored at low temperatures. This research was an experimental study, using five Senduro Goats. The study was conducted at the Department Unit of Animal Husbandry Singosari, Malang. The Fresh semen collection method was carried out using an artificial vagina. Observation of fresh semen data were included macroscopic observations which included volume, color, odor, pH, viscosity, and concentration of spermatozoa. Other data microscopic observations which were included mass, individual motility, viability, and membrane integrity. The results showed that the average volume of 1.1 m; yellowish-white color, the typical fishy odor of semen, an average pH of 6.8, and an average concentration of 2.5 x 108. Microscopic data obtained an average mass motility +++, average individual motility of 77.5%, while the average mean viability was 88.77%, and the average integrity of intact membranes was 89.84%. Based on the results of this study concluded that fresh semen from the Senduro Goat was suitable for storage at low temperatures.
