Usefulness of powdered and fresh egg yolk for cryopreservation of Zebu bull spermatozoa.
نویسندگان
چکیده
This experiment was designed to compare powdered egg yolk with fresh egg yolk in an extender for cryopreservation of Zebu bull semen. Sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and viability were assessed at different stages of cryopreservation (post-dilution, pre-freezing and post-thawing). Sperm plasma membrane integrity remained similar at all the stages of cryopreservation. Sperm motility and viability were significantly higher after thawing in the extender containing powdered egg yolk. In conclusion, powdered egg yolk may be used in an extender for the cryopreservation of Zebu bull spermatozoa.

This experiment was designed to study the effect of insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) on cryopreservation of Hariana bull semen. For this purpose, semen ejaculates were collected from four Hariana bulls using artificial vagina at biweekly interval. The semen samples which possess more than 70% initial progressive motility and above 500 million/mL spermatozoa concentration was subsequently su...
متن کاملCryopreservation alters the levels of the bull sperm surface protein P25b.
Fertility of frozen-thawed bull sperm is reduced by cryopreservation. Freezing-thawing procedures can result in as much as a sevenfold fertility decrease. Sperm mortality and loss of motility do not fully explain the reduced fertility of cryopreserved semen; they may be partially explained by the loss of sperm surface proteins, which are necessary for fertilization. We have previously identifie...

BACKGROUND European bison is the largest mammal in Europe with the population of approximately 4000 individuals. However, there is no report of post-mortem spermatozoa collection and cryopreservation from this species and the aim of this study was to test if the epididymal spermatozoa collected post-mortem from European bison are suitable for cryopreservation and artificial insemination (AI). ...
