The research method was laboratory experiment with randomized complete block design with four treatments as a group and each group consist of 10 replications. The data were analyzed by Analyze of Variance. The research treatments were P0 (CEP-3 90% + thin albumen 0.4% + yolk 10%), P1 (coconut water 80% + yolk 15% + soy milk 5%), P2 (coconut water 80% + yolk 10% + soy milk 10%), dan P3 (coconut water 80% + yolk 5% + soy milk 15%). The results showed that the sperm motility and viability until the 3rd day between P0 and P2 treatments did not give a significant difference (P>0.05), but P1 and P3 gave a very significant difference (P<0.01). The percentage of abnormality in all treatments was not significantly different (P>0.05) on day 1 to day 3. P0 could maintain the quality of the liquid semen until the 4th day with individual motility of 43.00 ± 2.88%. Meanwhile, P1 could maintain the quality of liquid semen until the 3rd day with individual motility   of 43.00 ± 1.04%. In conclusion, young coconut water extender with the addition of soy milk could replace Cauda. Epididymal Plasma-3 (CEP-3) extender until the 3rd day for artificial insemination.
