PSXIV-10 Influence of Breeds on the Quality of Chilled Goat Semen Collected by Artificial Vagina

Abstract Goats are important livestock for meat and milk production. Artificial insemination (AI) is an technique used to propagate genetic gain through spreading of selected male traits. Inadequate fertility rates in goats after AI mainly related the semen quality, which influenced, by breeds, cooling, freezing procedures. Here, we investigated effect goat breeds (Saanen versus Alpine) on quality chilled semen. Semen collected from Saanen Alpine bucks artificial vagina (AV) was evaluated its color, consistency, volume concentrations. then diluted stored at 4 °C 48 hrs. Sperm motility, viability, abnormalities, membrane integrity were assessed 0, 24, h post-cooling. At least three ejaculates each breed data analyzed student t-test. Results showed that colors samples two white yellow consistency ranged watery creamy. Average sperm cell concentration greater (P≤ 0.05) than bucks. Although, decreased a time dependent manner both during chilling, these variables all-time point. abnormalities less( P≤ In conclusion, had better one chilling. These results indicate affect viability
