Effects of Cellgevity® on the milt quality of catfish,Clarias gariepinus extended in sodium citrate during chilled storage

Cellgevity® is a supplement reported to comprise mostly D-Ribose and L-Cysteine enriched glutathione, known be an effective antioxidant that improves spermatozoa quality. However, its effect on milt characteristics has not been reported. This study, therefore, aimed evaluate the effects of quality catfish (Clarias gariepinus) extended in sodium citrate during chilled storage. Pooled sample from three fishes was divided into groups (T1, T2 T3). The citrate, each group triplicate supplemented with at 0 mg (T1), 125 (T2) 250 (T3). motility, concentration, viability morphology were evaluated days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 5 Data expressed as mean ± standard deviation (SD) analysed one-way analysis variance (ANOVA) followed by Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Mean SD motility significantly (P < 0.001) lower T3 than T1 before first 3-days storage period. concentration higher throughout 5-days live day 2 total abnormal did differ > 0.05) among It concluded although supplementation catfish, maintained sperm cells alive motile up four it improve Hence, should Clarias gariepinus
