Cryopreservation of semen from domestic livestock.

چکیده
In modern livestock breeding, cryopreserved semen is routinely used for artificial insemination. Sperm cryopreservation secures future reproduction, and insemination doses can be easily shipped. Processing of semen for cryopreservation can be done with minimal efforts and relatively low costs. In this chapter we describe the entire cryopreservation process for stallion and bull sperm including dilution of sperm in primary and freezing extender, cooling and packaging in straws, freezing in liquid nitrogen vapor, cryogenic storage, and thawing. Special emphasis is given on preparation of commonly used primary and freezing extenders (skim milk extender "INRA-82", TRIS-egg yolk extender "TEY") used in a two-step dilution approach. Furthermore the different cooling rates needed in different temperature regimes during the freezing process are being described. Cryopreservation procedures are described in case of using both specialized automated equipment and simple equipment.

Avian semen cryopreservation: what are the biological challenges?
The value of the ability to cryopreserve and store germplasm has long been recognized for indefinite preservation of genetic material, especially for at-risk populations. In contrast to domestic livestock species, cryogenic storage of poultry semen is not reliable enough for germplasm preservation. The relatively low fertilizing ability of frozen/thawed poultry sperm most likely results from ph...

Modern livestock breeding is basically dependent on the proper use of semen for artificial insemination of females and of other reproductive biotechnologies such as the production of embryos in vitro for embryo transfer. Both these techniques have made possible not only the wide dissemination of genetic material onto breeding populations but also enhanced the selection of best sires, owing to t...

Semen cryopreservation in domestic birds has been studied extensively in the past fifty years. However, efficient methods to freeze semen of chicken of different breeds have emerged only in the last decade of the 20 century. Methods using cryoprotectants Glycerol, Dimethyl Acetamide and Dimethyl sulfoxide, slow or rapid freezing-thawing procedures, pellets or ampoules or straws packaging have b...

The genetic improvement of agriculturally important species and disease control are of fundamental importance to the success of a sustainable agri-food industry. In this sense, artificial insemination (AI) is arguably the most important tool contributing to the advancement of modern animal production. Through AI, 1 ejaculate from a genetically superior male can be used to impregnate multiple fe...
