this study was undertaken to compare the efficiency of fresh and frozen-thawed buck semen on in vitro fertilization (ivf) of goat oocytes. cumulus oocytes complexes (cocs) were collected by aspiration of 2-6 mm diameter follicles, which were obtained from slaughterhouse. upon grading, only normal quality cocs were maturated in tcm-199 for 48 hours. the percentage of cocs reached to the m-ii sta...

In order to improve Boer goat semen quality during cryopreservation process, the influence of sugar supplementation on semen characteristics of sperm were investigated. Three experiments were carried out to investigate the effect of (a) addition of two monosaccharides (fructose and glucose) and two disaccharides sugars (trehalose and sucrose) (b) sugar combination (fructose and trehalose, sucro...

black bengal goat is the heritage and one of the potential genetic resources of bangladesh. genetic and phenotypic parameters for semen characteristics and their relationships with scrotal circumference in black bengal bucks were estimated in this experiment. genetic parameters were estimated by residual maximum likelihood procedure, fitting an animal model ignoring maternal genetic or permanen...

The objective of this study was to test the effect of four different diluents on the motility of goat semen stored at room and refrigerator temperatures. To achieve this objective, four West African dwarf bucks aged 10-12 months were ejaculated weekly for five weeks using the electro-ejaculator method. The ejaculated semen were extended using four diluents namely sodium citrate (T1), sodium bic...

The objective of the study was a comparison of two protocols of goat semen cryopreservation with the use of computer-assisted semen analysis system. Twenty ejaculates obtained with electroejaculation method we...

This study aimed to improve the quality of cryopreserved goat semen for artificial insemination by the addition of cattle seminal plasma crude protein. Semen collected from cattle and centrifuged to obtain seminal plasma. Then it was purified to obtain the crude protein. The diluent used in this study was milk-yolk. There were three groups, control group without crude protein (P0), the addition...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin E associated with rapid thawing on cryopreserved goat semen. Two bucks were used and eight ejaculates per animal were collected using artificial vagina. Semen was diluted with the following treatments: BIOXCELL (control), BIOXCELL + Equex (sodium lauryl sulphate) and BIOXCELL + vitamin E 100 μM. Semen was packaged into 0.25 mL straws ...
