Post-thaw Characteristics of Pinzgau Bull Semen following Long-term and Short-term Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the study was to examine sperm viability of Pinzgau bull insemination doses following longor short-term storage. Insemination doses, provided by Slovak Biological Services Inc. (Lužianky, Slovak Republic), were slow-frozen and stored in containers with liquid nitrogen for 1 18 years. The sperm samples were divided, according to the length of storage, to the short-term ( ≤ 15 years) and long-term ( > 15 years) groups. Post-thaw sperm assessment included total motility (CASA), dead/necrotic sperm occurrence (propidium iodide) and sperm morphology examination. No significant influence of storage length on the spermatozoa characteristics of Pinzgau bulls was noted. However, high inter-male variability in the susceptibility of Pinzgau bull sperm to cryodamages was found (P ≤ 0.05). Our results suggest that bull ́ individual variability should be taken into account when semen doses are to be stored as genetic resources for a future use.

P-138: Effect of Short Term Storage on Functional Parameters of Post-Thawed Buffalo Spermatozoa
Background: Detection of sperm parameters based on conventional methods, immediately after thawing, have been revealed sperm capacity to in vivo and in vitro fertilization. But this evaluation is not fully reliable because of long journey of sperm during female genital tract to reach the oocyte and fertilize it. Therefore, analyzing postthawed sperm parameters after incubation is more beneficia...
