Korelasi Diameter Testis dan Berat Testis Terhadap Berat Badan Kucing Domestik (Felis catus)
Correlation of Testis Diameter and Testis Weight to the Body Weight of Domestic Cats (Felis catus)
Abstract
This research aimed to identify if there is a relationship between testicular diameter and testicular weight on the body weight of domestic cats (Felis catus). The samples used were 30 pairs of local/domestic cat testicles. Cats are fasted for 6-12 hours. Then the anaesthetic injection of Atropine was given at a dose of 0.02 mg/kgBW, Acepromazine at a dose of 0.2 mg/kgBW, Ketamine at a dose of 15 mg/kgBW. The testicles obtained from the castration process are weighed with a digital scale. Then measure the diameter using a digital calliper at the largest diameter horizontally. The parameters identified in this study were cat body weight, testicular weight and testicular diameter. The data obtained indicates a weak correlation between body weight and both testicular weight and testicular diameter.
