[ 1 ] - “Short Paper” Application of Gamma Irradiation to Increase the Motility and Viability of Bovine Sperm after Freezing and Thawing

This study was conducted to determine the suitable dose of gamma rays for increasing sperm motility and viability after thawing and to assess its effects on malondialdehyde concentration and the rate of sperm DNA strand breaks. Sperm samples in liquid nitrogen were irradiated at doses of zero, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 Gy. The sperm quality and quantity parameters were evaluated before and aft...
