57 Effect of Seminal Plasma Removal on Sperm Characteristics and Mitochondrial Membrane Following Cryopreservation of South African Indigenous Buck Semen
Abstract:The removal of seminal plasma has a significant effect on semen characteristics. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of seminal plasma removal on sperm characteristics following semen dilution with Triladyl® or Bioxcell® extenders during cryopreservation. Semen samples were collected from 6 matured South African indigenous bucks for a period of 8 weeks by means of electro-ejaculation. Semen samples were pooled and then divided into 4 aliquots (Triladyl® -washed and non-washed or Bioxcell® -washed a… Show more
