主 题：Semen Extender Bovine Sperm Refrigerator Storage
摘 要：This study evaluated sperm viability over time, after dilution and refrigerator storage of fresh semen extended in either synthetic cauda epididymal plasma (CEP2), or in a low sodium medium (CJ2) supplemented with either AlbuMAX or egg yolk. Semen collected weekly for 4 weeks from 4 bulls and assigned within bulls, across treatments. After extension in either CEP2, or CJ2 containing either egg yolk or AlbuMAX, semen was cooled to 4°C, and evaluated for 7 days. A computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA) system was used for sperm evaluation. Particular emphasis was placed on sperm motility since it is the single most important sperm parameter influencing bull fertility. Total and progressive motility of sperm in CEP2 and CJ2-AlbuMAX were similar (P = 0.85 and P = 0.23, respectively), but both were lower (P 0.01) when compared to CJ2-yolk. Fewer sperm had rapid motility in CEP2 and CJ2-AlbuMAX compared to CJ2-yolk (P 0.01). Sperm straightness and linearity were greater in CJ2-AlbuMAX and CJ2-yolk than in CEP2 (P 0.01). Mean velocity (VAP) and linear velocity (VSL) were greater (P 0.01) in CJ2-AlbuMAX than either CEP2 or CJ2-yolk. The calculated curvilinear velocity (VCL) of spermatozoa in CEP2 was lower than CJ2-AlbuMAX (P = 0.01), but similar with CJ2-yolk (P = 0.54). Overall, every sperm parameter measured by the CASA system was equal to or higher for sperm stored 7 days in CJ2 medium as compared with CEP2. The CJ2 extender supplemented with egg yolk is a viable alternative for storing fresh bovine semen.
