چکیده

Extended semen from six Hereford bulls was placed in .25-ml Continental straws and frozen in the vertical position. Treatments were arranged factorially with glycerol levels of 5, 7, 9 or 11%; semen cooled from 5 to 1 3 0 C in 3.5 (fast), 20 (moderate) or 40 min (slow); and thawed in water at 5 C for 3 min, 35 C for 12 sec, 55 C for 8 sec, 75 C for 7 sec or 90 C for 5 seconds. Fast freezing resulted in greater postthaw motil i ty than moderate (P < .05) or slow rates (P < .01), regardless of thawing method. Glycerol levels of 7 to 11% provided opt imal survival when averaged over rates of freezing and thawing (P < .05). Post-thaw moti l i ty improved as the temperature of the thawing bath was increased from 5 to 55 C (P < .01). Further increases in thawing bath temperature to 90 C did not enhance survival. The post-thaw motil i ty of spermatozoa frozen rapidly in straws and thawed at 55 to 90 C exceeded that for ampules from split-ejaculates frozen in 1.0-ml ampules (P < .01). Semen from one Angus, two Hereford and three Charolais bulls was frozen in a second study at the fast, moderate and slow rates in straws maintained in the horizontal or vertical position. The final extended semen contained 5, 7, 9 or 11% glycerol; and all semen was thawed in 75 C water for 7 seconds. Fast freezing resulted in post-thaw moti l i ty equal to

Investigation of Different Glycerol and Egg Yolk Concentration on Freezing Bakhtiari Ram Semen

Purpose: Glycerol has been the most widely used cryopreservation agent for spermatozoa and a wide range of factors affects its action on sperm viability and fertilizing capacity. Moreover egg yolk is a common constituent of semen diluents, protects the spermatozoa against cold shock and confers protection during freezing and thawing .The aim of this study was to investigate of different glycero...

Background: Artificial insemination (AI) has been used for increasing genetic potential of animals in production while application of AI has been restricted in buffalo due to low freezing ability and fertility of frozen-thawed buffalo spermatozoa. So improvement in buffalo sperm cryopreservation may enhance the breeding programs of this valuable farm animal. Semen processing is one of the major...
