An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin C in chicken and quail egg yolk extender on sperm motility in chilled stored bull semen. Semen was collected from the bull with the aid of artificial vagina and six types of extenders were prepared using chicken and quail egg yolk with each extender divided into three aliquots having 0, 3 and 6 mg/mL Vitamin C levels. Bottles containing the diluted semen using the chicken and quail egg yolk °extenders were stored in a refrigerator at 5C over a period of three days and monitored or evaluated at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The result showed that there was a general decline in motility of semen as storage time increases, although samples with 6mg/mL Vitamin C levels had better results. It can be concluded that adding Vitamin C in chicken and quail egg yolk 0extender maintained motility of chilled semen even at 72 hours of preservation at 5C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
