this experiment was conducted to evaluate the addition of seminal plasma to coated spermatozoa after 72 h. semen was collected from four taleshi rams by artificial vagina. to prepare coated spermatozoa, semen was collected in tube containing tris-fructose-15% egg yolk. after initial evaluation, the samples were mixed and centrifuged. after removal of supernatant and dilution, samples were divid...

to determine the effect of different levels of l-glutamine and glycerol on freezing coated sperm, semen were collected from 4 taleshi rams through artificial vagina contact with a tube containing tris-fructose-egg yolk 15%. ejaculates were pooled, centrifuged and supernatant was removed, then cell fractions were used. samples were split into 9 equal parts and 3 (g3), 5 (g5) or 7% (g7) glycerol ...

this study was conducted to evaluate the effect of egg yolk and cooling on ram coated spermatozoa. semen was collected from three ram by artificial vagina contacted with a tube containing tris- fructose-egg yolk 15%. samples were pooled, centrifuged by 700 g for 10 min and removed supernatant. then, samples were diluted by tris-glucose and centrifuged again to remove seminal plasma and egg yolk...

Background: One of the factors limiting successful processing of alpaca (Vicugna pacos) semen is the viscosity of seminal plasma. The viscous nature of the collected ejaculate has hindered sperm cryopreservation as well as artificial insemination (AI) under field conditions. Aims: The objective of this investigation was to evaluate recovery, motility, ...

Adding antioxidants to semen extenders could reduce post-thaw sperm damages. Glutathione is an important intracellular antioxidant that has free radicals scavenging properties and multiple effects on DNA and protein synthesis. In the present study, effects different levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) containing 0 (control), 1.0, 2.5, or 5.0 mM in a nanomicelle-based extender on post-thaw quali...

the effect of osmolarity and glycerol different levels in soybean lecithin-based extender on the bull sperm quality after cryopreservation was examined using six holstein bulls in a 2 × 3 factorial trial based on completely randomized design, with three levels of osmolarity (250, 300 and 350 mosml) and two levels of glycerol (5 and 7 %) .in general, semen samples were collected 36 times (from e...

the goal of this study was the evaluation of semen extender filtration on post-thawed buck sperm quality. a total 16 ejaculates were collected from four buck (4 ejaculates from each buck) twice a week. after semen collection and primary evaluation, collected semen samples were pooled and divided into two equal parts. each part was diluted with one of the following extenders: 1) non-filtered lec...
