Abstract:

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 glycerol and egg yolk concentration for optimum freezing of ram semen. Materials and Methods: Nine semen extender with different concentration of egg yolk (10%, 15%, 20%) and glycerol (4%, 6%, 8%) in a Tris-based media were tested for cryopreservation of semen. Semen was collected from Bakhtiari rams by an artificial vagina (38-40°C) two consecutive semen collections from each ram were pooled. The ejaculates were diluted with each extender, cooled to 5°C and left for 2 hours. Thereafter, it was packed in 0.5 ml straws (final cellular concentration 100-200 ×106 spz/ml). Then the frozen straws in nitrogen vapors (5 cm above nitrogen liquid). the straws were then stored in liquid nitrogen until further use. Results: The results showed that frozen sperm in all treatment groups had motility after thawing but the percentage of motility in different groups are different. Conclusion: In conclusion the results of present study indicate that the 20% egg yolk – Tris – 8% glycerol extender was significantly superior to other extender, in protecting the sperm during freezing and thawing and saving the motility of spermatozoa. While the 10% egg yolk – Tris – 4% glycerol show the lowest motility after freezing thawing.

Comparison of different diluents based on liposomes and egg yolk for ram semen cooling and cryopreservation

Background: Sperm cryopreservation is an important tool for breed improvement, nonetheless, spermatozoids of rams are extremely sensitive to cryopreservation. Aims: The present research was to compare a liposome-based (OptiXcell: OX) diluent, a commercial TRIS-egg yolk (Optidyl: OP) and a citrate egg yolk-based (CY) diluent on ovine semen quality through the cr...

Effect of Different Levels of Egg Yolk on Cryopreservation of Black Bengal Buck Semen in Tris Egg yolk Citrate Fructose Glycerol Extender

This study was conducted to assess the physical and morphological characteristics of fresh, pre-freeze and post-thaw black Bengal buck (Capra hircus) semen processed in Tris-egg yolk-citrate-fructose-glycerol (TEYCFG) extender containing 4 different concentrations (2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10%) of egg-yolk. Ejaculates were collected once a week for eight weeks from six mature bucks (48 ejaculates) using...

Effect of different levels of egg yolk on ram sperm coating and preserving at 5°C

Experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of egg yolk for coating and storing spermatozoa. Ejaculates were collected from four rams. In each session, second ejaculates (n=4) were collected in a tube containing 1 mL coating buffers which were prepared by 10, 15 or 20% egg yolk plus Tris-fructose. Samples were pooled, centrifuged and the supernatant removed in the labora...

Effect of Different Egg Yolk Concentration on Chilled Barbari Buck Semen During Short Term Storage

The experiment was designed to evaluate the optimal concentration of egg yolk in extender for diluting Barbari buck semen during short-term storage at 4oC. A total of four Barbari bucks were used as semen donors during the experiment. The observed mean (±SE) valuesrecorded for percent live spermatozoa ranged from 63.5 ± 1.08 to 75.33 ± 0.99, percent progressive motile spermatozoa ranged from 54...

Replacement of salamon with shotor diluent and egg yolk with low density lipoprotein for chilled storage of ram semen

The present study investigated the possibility of replacing salamon with modified shotor diluent (MSD) and egg yolk (EY) with low density lipoprotein (LDL) for chilled storage of ram semen. Good quality semen (>80% progressive forward motility (PFM) of sperm) from 3 fertile rams was collected using an artificial vagina and pooled for each experiment. Low density lipoprotein was extracted from f...
