  • This research was carried out to determine the viability and motility of Muscovy drake's spermatozoa in a diluter combination of skim milk, fructose and egg yolk. In this research, sample of semen were taken from Muscovy drake. Semen was collected using the manual massage method and evaluated for viability and motility spermatozoa. The semen was divided into two groups. In control (P0) semen was diluted in diluter combination of skim milk and 7,5% fructose, while in treatment (P1), semen was diluted in diluter combination of skim milk, 7,5% fructose and 5% egg yolk. Ratio between semen and diluter was 1 : 5 on each group. Data were analyzed using Two–way ANOVA (factorial). The result showed that there was significant difference (p<0,05) between treatment (P1) and control (P0) in viability of spermatozoa, while in motility of spermatozoa there was no significant difference (p>0,05) between treatment (P1) and control (P0). The conclusion of this research was the diluter combination of skim milk, fructose and egg yolk was able to increase viability and motility of Muscovy drake's spermatozoa. Keywords : Muscovy drake, semen, skim milk, fructose, egg yolk.
