Disaccharides have been used as an extender for dromedary camel semen (Bravo et al. 2000 Anim. Reprod. Sci. 62, 173-193). More recently we have investigated the effect of different concentrations of lactose extender on the viability of Bactrian camel spermatozoa (Mosafer et al. 2005 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 17, 197). Considering the osmolality (316.1 � 1.48 mOsm/kg) and pH (7.4 � 0.03) of Bactrian camel semen (Mosaferi et al. 2005 Theriogenology 63, 92-101), the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of osmolality of sucrose extender on the viability of Bactrian camel spermatozoa. Sucrose at the concentrations of 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13% with osmolalities of 292, 331, 356, 386, and 410 mOsm/kg, respectively, were prepared. All extenders contained 20% egg yolk and antibiotics, with pH adjusted to 6.9. Semen was collected from camels with a sound history of semen quality and fertility (n = 3) using a modified artificial vagina and divided into different treatments after mechanical reduction of semen viscosity (3). Progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was examined at the time of semen collection and at 4, 12, and 24 h after incubation at 4�C. Data were analyzed using the GLM procedure in SAS/STAT after arcsin transformation. At the time of semen dilution, the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was greater at osmolality of 331 (23%) compared with 292 (1%), 386 (6%), and 410 (3.5%) mOsm/kg (P < 0.05). No progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was noticed after 4 h incubation at 4�C at osmolalities of 292, 386, and 410 mOsm/kg. At this time, a significant decrease (P < 0.05) of progressive forward motility occurred at osmolalities of 331 (4%) and 356 (0.5%) compared with that of the time of dilution. After 12 and 24 h incubation at 4�C, no progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was detected in any of these extenders. In conclusion, 10% sucrose (331 mOsm/kg) at the adjusted pH of 6.9 was the most suitable concentration of this disaccharide for preserving Bactrian camel semen for less than 4 h under chilled conditions.

Lactose has been used widely as a semen extender for camels although in the absence of evidence illustrating its suitablility. Considering the osmolarity (316.1 ± 1.48 mOsm/kg) and pH (7.4 ± 0.03) of Bactrian camel semen (Mosaferi S et al. 2004 Theriogenology, in press), the objective of this study was to investigate the effect of osmolarity and pH of lactose extender on the viability of Bactrian camel spermatozoa. In Experiment I, with pH adjusted to 6.9, the effect of lactose concentrations of 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13% with an osmolarity of 290, 333, 350, 376, and 419 mOsm/kg, respectively, on the viability of spermatozoa was investigated. In Experiment II, with lactose fixed at 10%, the effect of extender with pH of 5.9, 6.9, 7.5, 7.9, and 8.9 on the viability of spermatozoa was examined. All extenders contained 20% egg yolk. In both experiments, semen was collected from camels with a sound history of semen quality and fertility (n = 3), using a modified artificial vagina, and divided into different treatments after mechanical removal of semen viscosity (Mosaferi et al. 2004). Progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was examined at the time of semen collection and at 4, 12, and 24 h after incubation at 4°C. Data were analyzed using the GLM procedure in SAS/STAT (SAS Institute, Inc., Cary, NC, USA) after arcsine transformation. At the time of semen dilution, the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was greater at osmolarity of 290 (28.5%), 333 (34%), and 350 (31%) compared to 376 (13.5%) and 419 (1%) mOsm/kg (P < 0.05). The same trend in the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was noticed after 4 h of incubation at 4°C; although a significant decrease (P < 0.05) occurred at 290 (11%), 333 (18 %) and 350 (16%). After 12 and 24 h of incubation at 4°C, the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was less than 10% at 333 and 350 mOsm/kg (P < 0.05). At the time of semen dilution, the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was greater (P < 0.05) at pH 6.9 (35.5%) and 7.5 (18%) compared to pH 5.9 (0%), 7.9 (7.5%) and 8.9 (2.5%). The same trend in the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was observed after 4 h incubation at 4°C; although, a significant decrease (P < 0.05) occurred at pH 6.9 (15%) and 7.5 (9%) at this time. After 12 h incubation at 4°C, the progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was less than 5% at pH 6.9 and 7.5 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, 10% (333 mOsm/kg) and 11% (350 mOsm/kg) lactose, at the adjusted pH of 6.9, were the most suitable concentrations of lactose extender for preserving Bactrian camel semen for less than 4 h after which the viability of spermatozoa deteriorated significantly in this extender.

Lactose and Green buffer (IMV, France) are the most commonly used extenders for camel semen. The viability of Bactrian camel spermatozoa in lactose extender is reduced after 4 h of incubation at 4°C (unpublished data). Although Green buffer is used for dromedary camel semen, there are no data indicating its effectiveness for Bactrian camel semen. More recently, we reported that the osmolality and pH of Bactrian camel semen are 316.1 ± 1.48 mOsm/kg and 7.4 ± 0.03, respectively. The objective of this study was to compare three different semen extenders, to determine if a TRIS-based diluent (SHOTOR* Diluent), a completely defined diluent, can maintain cooled camel sperm as effectively as established diluents. SHOTOR Diluent consists of 2.6 g TRIS, 1.35 g citric acid, 1.2 g glucose, and 0.9 g fructose in 100 mL of deionized water, with an osmolality of 330 mOsm/kg and pH of 6.9. SHOTOR Diluent, lactose, 10% (w/v), with an osmolality of 330 mOsm/kg and pH of 6.9, and Green buffer were compared in this study. All extenders contained 20% egg yolk. Semen was collected from bulls with a sound history of semen quality and fertility (n = 3), using a modified artificial vagina, and divided equally into the different extenders (Mosaferi S et al. 2004 15th Int. Cong. Anim. Reprod. 2, 520; Mosaferi S et al. 2004 Theriogenology, in press). Progressive forward motility and percentage of live spermatozoa were examined at the time of semen collection (time 0) and after 4, 12, and 24 h of incubation at 4°C. Data were analyzed using the GLM procedure in SAS/STAT after arcsine transformation. The forward progressive motilities of spermatozoa at 0, 4, 12, and 24 h after semen collection were 65.5, 54, 44.5, and 36.5% in SHOTOR Diluent; 31, 18.5, 8.5, and 0% in 10% lactose; and 60.5, 54.5, 33, and 32.5 % in Green buffer, respectively (Table 1). The percentage of live spermatozoa at 0, 4, 12, and 24 h were 84.5, 84, 81 and 74.5% in SHOTOR Diluent; 80, 79.5, 72.5, and 56.5% in 10% lactose; 89, 82.5, 82.5, and 77.5% in Green buffer, respectively (P > 0.05). The progressive forward motility of spermatozoa did not significantly decrease by 12 h at 4°C in SHOTOR Diluent (P > 0.05; Table 1), whereas it significantly decreased after 4 h and 12 h of incubation at 4°C in Green buffer and 10% lactose, respectively (P < 0.05; Table 1). Further decrease in the progressive forward motility occurred in all extenders after 24 h at 4°C (P < 0.05; Table 1). In conclusion, SHOTOR Diluent is better than Green buffer and 10% lactose as an extender for chilled storage of Bactrian camel semen for 12 hat4°C. Table 1. The progressive forward motility of Bactrian camel spermatozoa extended in SHOTOR Diluent (1), 10% lactose (2) and Green buffer (3) at the time of semen collection (time 0) and after 4, 12, and 24 h of incubation at 4°C *Shotor means camel in the Persian language.

The present study was designed to determine the effect of different levels of egg-yolk on freezability of Jakhrana buck semen. Six healthy Jakhrana bucks (BW=30 ± 2kg, age=12 ± 0.5 month) were used for semen collection. These bucks were maintained under semi-intensive system at Jakhrana Unit of C.I.R.G. Makhdoom, Mathura. A total of 48 ejaculates (6 bucks × 8 replicates) were collected twice a week using artificial vagina. Each ejaculate was divided into 4 groups (G1, G2, G3 and G4). The G1, G2, G3 and G4 were extended with Tris-egg yolk-citric acid- fructose-glycerol (TEYCFG) extenders containing 5, 10, 15 and 20% egg yolk level, respectively. Each ejaculate was evaluated for sperm motility, viability, abnormality, and hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) response and acrosome integrity before and after freezing. At pre-freeze stage no significant (P>0.05) difference in sperm motility and viability was found among all groups. Sperm abnormality was significantly (P<0.05) higher in G4 as compared to other groups (G1, G2, G3). The HOS response and acrosomal integrity was significantly (P<0.05) higher in G1, G2 and G3 as compared to G4. However, no significant (P>0.05) difference was observed in HOS response and acrosomal integrity among G1, G2 and G3. At post thaw stage, sperm motility, viability and HOS response was significantly (P<0.05) higher in G1 and G2 as compared to G3 and G4. Sperm abnormality was significantly (P<0.05) lower in G2 as compared to other groups. The acrosomal integrity was significantly (P<0.01) higher in G1 and G2 as compared to G3 and G4. It is concluded that 10% egg yolk in Tris based extender may be the best for successful cryopreservation of Jakhrana buck semen.

This study evaluated the use of young coconut water as a diluent on liquid semen quality of Boer goat after cold storage. This study was carried out for 3 months at Sumber Sekar Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, University of Brawijaya, Malang. The semen was collected from 3 Boer bucks aged at 3 to 5 years old. The semen collection was done once a week with the aid of artificial vagina. The diluents used were young Viridis coconut (5 to 7 months old) and tris aminomethane. The method used was an experiment in a randomized block design with 2 treatments and 10 replicates. The treatments used were T0: tris aminomethane + 10% egg yolk (control) and T1:  young Viridis coconut water + 10% egg yolk. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance using Genstat 18 software. The variables measured were sperm individual motility, viability, and abnormality. The results showed that the sperm individual motility in T1 survived up to 4 days (40.5± 24.3%), the best viability at 5 days (42.0±24.6%),  while the lowest abnormality at 7 days (1.31±0.6). It could be concluded that: 1. Tris aminomethane diluent has higher quality with the storage length up to 9 days, 2. Young Viridis coconut water diluent could preserve liquid semen quality of Boer goat up to 4 days for sperm motility and 5 days for sperm viability.Keywords: diluents, coconut water, viridis variety

This experiment was carried out with the objective of evaluating different levels of powder propolis in rabbit diets and their effect on semen characteristics. A total of 36 New Zealand White male rabbits were used, randomly distributed into six groups, corresponding to six propolis levels (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and 1.25 g propolis/kg of ration). Semen was collected twice a week, using an artificial vagina. Semen volume, progressive spermatic motility, spermatic vigor, spermatic concentration and spermatic morphology were analyzed. General linear models were used for statistical analysis. The inclusion of powder propolis in the diet increased normal spermatozoa percentage and reduced spermatozoa abnormalities. The powder propolis did not affect the progressive spermatic motility, spermatic vigor or spermatic concentration. The values were considered normal for rabbits. However, a small reduction in semen volume was observed, without any negative effect on the other semen characteristics evaluated. Thus, it is possible to observe better semen quality with the inclusion of 1.25 g powder propolis/kg in the diet for reproducer rabbits.

A Tris-based extender (SHOTOR diluent) has been developed for preserving Bactrian camel semen at 4�C (Niasari-Naslaji et al. 2005 Reprod. Fertil. Dev. 17, 198 (abstr.)). The present study investigated the possibility of utilizing the SHOTOR diluent for the cryopreservation of Bactrian camel semen. A modified bovine artificial vagina (Masaferi et al. 2005 Theriogeology 63, 92-101) was used to collect semen from three fertile bulls. The viscosity of the semen was reduced mechanically (Mosateri et al. 2005) and the homogenized semen was divided equally into two parts. Each part was sequentially diluted with either IMV buffers (Green buffer: first extender; White buffer: second extender; IMV, France) or SHOTOR diluents (without glycerol: first extender; with 12% glycerol: second extender). SHOTOR diluent consists of 2.6 g TIS, 1.35 g citric acid, 1.2 g glucose, and 0.9 g fructose in 100 mL of deionized water, with an osmolality of 330 mOsm/kg and pH of 6.9. All extenders had 20% egg yolk and antibiotics. The semen was diluted at the ratio of 1:1 with the first extender. The diluted semen was then cooled within 2 h to 4�C. At this temperature, the second extender was added at the same volume as the diluted semen in three steps with an equal volume, 10 min apart. After a 30-min equilibration time, beginning after addition of the last fraction of the second extender, the diluted semen was loaded into 0.5-mL straws at a concentration of 50 � 106 sperm per straw. The straws were maintained for 20 min at 4 cm above the liquid nitrogen surface, after which they were plunged into liquid nitrogen. The semen was thawed at 40�C water bath for 20 s. Progressive forward motility of spermatozoa was assessed at the time of dilution and immediately after thawing of the semen. The experiment was replicated four times. Data were analyzed using GLM procedure in SAS/STAT after arcsine transformation. At the time of dilution, there was no significant difference in progressive forward motility of spermatozoa between IMV buffers (51.8%) and SHOTOR diluent (61%; P > 0.05). However, after thawing, there was a significant decrease in progressive forward motility of spermatozoa in IMV buffers (4.2%) compared to SHOTOR diluent (29.9%, P < 0.05). In conclusion, in this experiment, SHOTOR diluent was more efficient for cryopreserving Bactrian camel semen than IMV extender. Shotor means camel in the Persian language.

This study is designed to evaluate the effect of using parsley seeds (PAS) at different levels as a natural on semen quality and reduce the effect of lipidperoxidation of bucks. Forty New Zealand rabbit bucks 8 month old were divided into four groups (each 10 rabbit bucks). The groups were divided as follows: Control diet (free from PAS), T1: Control diet + 5g/kg PAS, T2: Control diet + 10g/kg PAS; T3: Control diet + 15g/kg PAS. Semen sample were collected twice a week; from each rabbit buck by artificial vagina. The first semen collection was used to evaluate semen quality parameters. However, the second semen collection was used for analysis semen plasma. Results revealed that feeding diets containing different levels of PAS significantly (P<0.05) increased semen volume, mass activity, individual motility, PSV, sperm concentration, total sperm and seminal plasma activity of ALP enzyme and significant (P<0.05) decrease in dead sperm and seminal plasma concentrations of total lipids, triglycerides, cholesterol and MDA and seminal plasma activities of AST and ALT enzymes and TAC as compared with the control group. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with different levels of PAS, especially at the level of 15 g/kg (T3) resulted in significant improvement in semen quality, antioxidant status and reproductive traits of rabbit bucks.

The aims of the study was to investigate the possibility of using an plant lecithin; commercial soybean oil (SO) directly in the components of semen extenders of Awassi rams, storage of semen in chilled technique and the effects of dilution, cooling and storage periods on semen quality. Semen was collected weekly from four Awassi rams by electro- ejaculator. Pooled samples were divided to six equal aliquots and diluted by Citrate egg yolk extender at 37˚C. Treatments were designed on the base of control extender containing 25% egg yolk and four treatments containing different addition of SO (12.5, 25, 37.5, and 50%) and combination treatment of 12.5% egg yolk + 12.5% SO. Treatment tubes were cooled to 5˚C and stored for three days. Semen was evaluated as raw, diluted, cooled and after storage in refrigerator (5˚C) for 1, 2 and 3 consecutive days. Results showed that there were no significant differences among all treatments in progressive motility, dead sperm %, abnormal sperm % and acrosome defect %, while pH were found to be significantly declined (p≤ 0.05) in control group. Significant effects of dilution, cooling, and storage period have been demonstrated with steadily significant deterioration (p≤ 0.05) for all studied characteristics when motility and pH declined while sperm abnormality, dead, and acrosome defect percentages increased. The results clearly indicated successful of using different levels of SO (plant source) as lecithin source instead of egg yolk (animal source of lecithin) without any impacts on the biological characteristics of Awassi ram semen and the process of dilution, cooling and storage periods have deterioration effects on semen quality.
