the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of bovine serum albomin (bsa) in stallion semen extender in cool condition. after collection, semen samples were pooled and divided into four equal parts. each part was diluted with one of the following extenders: 1) extender without bsa (bsa-0), 2) extender containing 5 mg/ml bsa (bsa-5), 3) extender containing 10 mg/ml bsa (bsa-10), and 4) exte...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of semen collection into tubes containing extender supplemented with BSA on the cryosurvival of goat spermatozoa. Semen was collected from two goats into empty tubes or tubes containing 10 ml extender supplemented with 0, 0.1, 1, or 5% BSA, and the washed spermatozoa were frozen as pellets in egg yolk-trehalose extender with the addition ...

The present work was designed to study the effect of different concentrations of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in extender on post-thaw quality of buffalo spermatozoa. Semen was collected from three buffalo bulls with artificial vagina (42°C) for three weeks (replicates). Qualifying semen ejaculate from each bull was split into five aliquots and diluted in tris-citric egg yolk extender containing ...

The present study aimed to compare the fertility of ewes intrauterinally inseminated with frozen-thawed semen using a soybean-based semen extender (AndroMed) with those of ewes intrauterinally inseminated with frozen-thawed semen using a Tris-based extender containing either egg yolk or BSA. Suffolk ewes (n=104) were treated with an intravaginal sponge containing 40 mg fluoroprogesterone acetat...

In this study the effect of extenders and temperatures on sperm viability and fertilizing capacity of boar sperm during long-term storage was investigated. Acrosomal integrity, membrane integrity, motility and hypo-osmotic resistance were evaluated by fluorescence and light microscopy. An in vitro fertilization test was performed to assess the fertilizing capacity of stored spermatozoa. The fiv...

This experiment wascarried out to explore the effect of use of combinations of permeating cryoprotectant and non permeating cryoprotectant on thequality of frozen-thawed Beluga (Huso huso) spermas compared to the use of permeating cryoprotectant as a control. For this work methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)are used aspermeatingcryoprotectantsand bovine serum albuminas a non permeatin...

The effects of lipid-rich bovine serum albumin (LR-BSA) on the development of porcine blastocysts produced in vitro were examined. Addition of 0.5 to 5 mg/ml LR-BSA to porcine blastocyst medium (PBM) from Day 5 (Day 0 = in vitro fertilization) significantly increased the hatching rates of blastocysts on Day 7 and the total cell numbers in Day-7 blastocysts. When Day-5 blastocysts were cultured ...
