Background: Short time preservation of semen is common in animals (e.g. horse or pig etc…) which their sperm in known as freezing sensitive sperm. It also may use for short transportation of other species to be cryopreserved or use in AI or IVF programs. The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects of duration of cool storage on goat epididymal sperm. Materials and Methods: Total number...

The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of testis-epididymis cool storage on viability and progressive motility of buffalo epididymal sperm (EP) and to compare the influences of two basic semen extenders on post thaw EP viability and progressive motility. Abattoir collected buffalo testicles were allotted to three storage times (0 h: n = 10; 24 h: n = 10 and 48 h: n = 12). ...

The present paper is confined to the discussion of technical grade paraffin waxes as phase change material (PCM) for cool storage and the cool storage systems capital cost investment. The objective of this study is to determine the potential for using cool storage systems. The thermal properties of technical grade paraffin waxes as PCM are investigated, and static and dynamic cool storage proce...

the effects of different stages of maturity (mature green, until 20 to 40% of change in color), two treatments of cool water (5 ?c for 5' and 10 ?c for 15min.), two treatments of hot water (50 ?c for 15 min. and 55 ?c for 5 min.) ), two temperatures (10 and 14 °c) of storage vs. six time periods (0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days) on shelf life and storage time of ‘langra’ mango fruit were stud...

decline in postharvest losses of kiwifruit depended to maintain of quality characteristics during storage and transportation. storage losses caused serious economic losses in kiwifruit. this study was conducted to inhibition of pathogen infection and increasing fruit quality of kiwifruit. hayward kiwifruits inoculated by b.cinerea conidia through pore wounds which formed by removal of the pedic...

The cool storage air-conditioning technology is being developed and applied in commercial buildings in China due to its ability in shifting peak load for electrically driven air-conditioning systems. In this paper, a model of economic analysis of the conventional and cool storage air-conditioning systems is presented. A case study is performed to demonstrate the applicability of the model devel...

It is recognized that cool egg storage for 8 d or longer, commonly employed in broiler parent and commercial layer production, reduces hatchability. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of short periods of incubation during egg storage (SPIDES) in the restoration of hatchability of broiler hatching eggs stored for 21 d. Prolonged cool storage reduced hatchability of untreated eggs from 9...

in this study, effect of exogenous putrescine on maintaining postharvest quality and antioxidant compounds of two broccoli cultivars, ‘general’ and ‘liberty’ during cool storage were investigated. broccoli branchlets were treated with 0.5, 1 and 1.5 mm putrescine. distilled water was used as control. treated florets were put into polyethylene bag and transferred to storage with 0°c and 90% rh. ...

The grape juice industry has shifted almost entirely from the old method of storing juice in 5-gallon carboys to cool storage in tanks at 22 to 28 F (-5.5 to -2.2 C). Excess tartrates are precipitated during storage. When juice was stored in carboys, the carboys wNere filled at processing temperature, and either spray-cooled or allowed to cool slowly at the cellar storage temperature. For the m...
