P-146: Fertility and Flow Cytometric Evaluations of Frozen-Thawed Rooster Semen in Cryopreservation Medium Containing Low Density Lipoprotein
Authors
Abstract:
Background: Frozen-thawed rooster semen is not reliable for use in artificial insemination in commercial stocks. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been assessed for effectiveness as a cryoprotectant in the extender to improve the quality of frozen-thawed rooster semen. Although LDL has been evaluated in a few studies in other species for semen cryopreservation, to date, no study has been conducted that examines this cryoprotectant for freezing fowl semen. Thus, this study aims to analyze the effects of different concentrations of LDL (0, 2, 4, 6, and 8%) in a Beltsville extender for cryopreservation of rooster spermatozoa. Materials and Methods: In experiment one, motion parameters, membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, apoptosis status, and mitochondria activity were assessed after freeze-thawing. The highest quality of frozen-thawed semen was selected to be used for evaluation of the fertility rate in experiment two. Semen was collected from six roosters, twice weekly, then extended in a Beltsville extender that contained different concentrations of LDL as follows: 0 (control), 1% (BLDL1), 2% (BLDL2), % (BLDL4), 6% (BLDL6), and 8% (BLDL8). Results: Supplementation of the Beltsville extender with 4% LDL produced the most significant percentage of motility (43.1 ± 1.3), membrane integrity (59.4 ± 2.1), mitochondria activity (49.1 ± 1.19), and viable spermatozoa (45 ± 2.28) compared to control treatment with the results of 22.7 ± 1.3, 38.4 ± 2.1, 40.25 ± 1.19, and 37.8 ± 2.28 for motility, membrane integrity, mitochondria activity, and viability, respectively. In experiment two, more significant percentage of fertility rate was observed for frozen-thawed semen in the extender supplemented with 4% LDL (49.5 ± 1.6) compared to the control (29.2 ± 2.9). Progressive motility and acrosome integrity were not affected by LDL levels in the extenders Conclusion: The results showed that supplementation of the Beltsville extender with 4 % LDL resulted in higher quality of frozenthawed rooster sperm.

P-55: Cryopreservation of Rooster Semen Using Hand-Made Cryopreservation Media Supplemented with Different Cryoprotectants
Background Cryopreservation procedure for poultry semen is not reliable due to structural and biochemical damages which can lead to reduction in sperm quality and fertility. Development of cryopreservation medium has crucial effects for successful recovery of sperm after freezing. The objective of this study was assessment of cryopreservation of rooster semen using hand-made cryopreservation me...

Effect of selection for fertility of frozen-thawed semen in chickens on the fertility of fresh and stored semen.
Studies were conducted using 68 males from the seventh generation of a line of meat-type breeder chickens selected for increased duration of fertility of frozen-thawed semen and 69 males of the randomly selected control line. These chickens were used to determine the presence or absence of differences between the selected and control lines with respect to fertility and spermatozoal motility whe...

In order to protect the spermatozoa against cold shock, hen egg yolk is widely used as a cryoprotective agent in semen freezing extenders for domestic animals. The protective action of yolk is largely presumed to be due to low density lipoproteins (LDL). The effects of LDL on sperm quality of bull and northern pike (Esox lucius) after freezing-thawing have been reported, but no study has been m...

Semen from six adult male Black Bengal goats (Capra hircus) was collected to compare the fresh and frozen-thawed semen quality and investigate its relationship with the fertility. Each collected samples was divided into two parts: One part of semen was used as fresh and another part was filled into 0.50 ml straws, sealed, cooled (5 ˚C) and equilibrated for freezing.In both cases, semen was dilu...
