Vliv délky ekvilibrace na motilitu spermií býků po rozmrazení
KRÁTILOVÁ, Karolína
The aim of the study was to monitor the change in motility of bull sperm post-thawing depending on the time of equilibration before freezing of insemination doses. The percentage of progressive sperm activity post-thawing was determined from the average progressive sperm activity after collection. The evaluation was performed on 6 bulls, approximately the same age, reared under the same conditions at the insemination station. 15 ejaculates were taken from each bull and subsequently processed into insemination doses, which were divided into four groups according to the length of equilibration: 1, 3, 8 and 24 hours. Equilibration was performed in a refrigerator at 5 ° C. The doses were then frozen and evaluated after one week of storage in liquid nitrogen. The mean values of the input parameters were: progressive motility at sampling was 74.63 ? 9.07, the amount of ejaculate 10.08 g and the density 0.91x 106 ml-1 sperm. The results document higher progressive sperm motility with longer equilibration times (8 and 24 hours) as opposed to shorter times (1 and 3 hours) (p <0.01). The best procentual progressive motility was recorded at the equilibration time of 8 hours, when it was 58.74 ? 13.92 % of the initial value (43,84 % of real progresive aktivity). When evaluating the progressive motility of bull sperm after thawing, statistical differences were observed between bulls (p <0.05). Determination of the progressive motility of bull sperm is important in terms of assessing bull fertility. The equilibration time is only one of many factors influencing the quality of the produced insemination doses.
