黑丝羽乌骨鸡精液DMA颗粒冷冻技术研究

为研究不同稀释液与解冻装置对黑丝乌骨鸡N,N-二甲基甲酰胺（N,N-dimethylformamide,DMA）颗粒冻精解冻后精子质量的影响,试验首先采用不同稀释液对精液进行稀释并比较其解冻后精子活力与人工输精的受精率;其次,选取不同解冻管及冻精颗粒数进行恒温水浴解冻,比较其活力;最后,依据解冻后的精子活力,筛选恒温水浴、恒温漏斗、恒温板3种解冻装置各自的最佳解冻温度,并利用各自最佳解冻温度解冻后的精液进行人工输精,检测受精率。结果显示：①不同稀释液组的精子活力与受精率高低趋势一致,为LR > F > B > L组,且各组之间差异显著（P < 0.05）。②在60℃恒温水浴中,用薄壁大玻璃管解冻的精子活力最好。③不同解冻装置有各自最佳解冻活力的温度范围,恒温水浴为50~60℃（0.51~0.59）、恒温漏斗为40~45℃（0.42~0.46）、恒温板为50~55℃（0.61~0.63）,每种装置最佳温度段内的精子活力差异不显著（P > 0.05）。④3种解冻装置最佳解冻状态相比：在精子活力上,60℃恒温水浴与55℃恒温板分别显著高于40℃恒温漏斗（P < 0.05）,但60℃恒温水浴与55℃恒温板之间差异不显著（P > 0.05）;在受精率上,55℃恒温板最高（26.91%）,60℃恒温水浴次之（23.08%）、40℃恒温漏斗最低（20.93%）,三者之间差异不显著（P > 0.05）。因此,黑丝羽乌骨鸡精液应采用LR稀释液、DMA冷冻保护剂及颗粒冷冻技术,在54.9℃恒温板解冻可获得较高的受精率。     

Effect of the Interaction Between Cryoprotectant Concentration and Cryopreservation Method on Frozen/Thawed Chicken Sperm Variables

This work examines the effect of the interaction between different concentrations of two cryoprotectants – glycerol (GLY) and dimethylacetamide (DMA) – and two methods of cryopreservation – pellets produced by plunging into liquid nitrogen and gradual in‐straw freezing – on frozen/thawed chicken sperm variables. Sperm was cryopreserved using: (i) 6% DMA, following the in‐straw and the pellet methods (ii) 11% GLY, following the in‐straw and the pellet methods; and (iii) 8% GLY in the in‐straw method and 3% DMA in the pellet method (i.e. reduced cryoprotectant concentrations). When 6% DMA was used as the cryoprotectant, no differences were seen between the in‐straw and pellet methods in terms of frozen/thawed sperm variables or fertility (10.8% and 12.8%, respectively). The viability and motility variables of the frozen/thawed sperm produced using the in‐straw method with 11% GLY were higher (p < 0.05) than those recorded for the sperm preserved using the same cryoprotectant and concentration in the pellet method. However, fertility was extremely low in both groups (2.1% and 4.2% for the in‐straw and pellet methods, respectively). Finally, the use of 8% GLY in the in‐straw method returned higher sperm viability, intact acrosome and motility values than the use of 3% DMA in the pellet method (p < 0.01). No differences were seen, however, in the fertility results obtained (28.8% and 25.0%, respectively). These results suggest that cryoprotectant concentrations can be reduced and still provide acceptable fertility rates.     

Motility and Fertility Evaluation of Thawed Frozen Stallion Semen After 24 Hours of Cooled Storage

Breeding mares with cryopreserved semen requires specialized equipment for storage and thawing and more intensive mare management. The objectives of this study were (1) evaluate the longevity of frozen stallion semen once it had been thawed, extended, and maintained at 5°C for 48 hours in a passive cooling container, and (2) determine fertility potential of frozen semen that had been thawed, extended, and used to inseminate mares after 24 hours of cooled storage. Eight ejaculates were collected and aliquots were cooled in either INRA96 and CryoMax LE minus cryoprotectant at a concentration of 50 million total sperm/mL. The remainder of the ejaculate was frozen in CryoMax LE extender at a concentration of 200 million total sperm/mL. Semen was thawed using 1 of 3 thawing protocols, and diluted to a concentration of 50 million total sperm/mL in either INRA96 or CryoMax LE minus cryoprotectant and cooled to 5°C. Sperm motility was evaluated at 24 and 48 hours. Eight mares were inseminated over two estrous cycles using frozen semen that had been thawed, extended in INRA96, and cooled for 24 hours. There was no difference in progressive motility at 24 or 48 hours of cooled-storage post-thaw between the 3 thawing protocols. An overall per cycle pregnancy rate of 56% (9/16 cycles) was achieved using frozen-thawed semen that had been extended and cooled for 24 hours. In summary, frozen stallion sperm was thawed, extended, and cooled to 5°C for 24 hours and still maintained adequate (>30%) sperm motility and fertility.     

Effect of group thawing on post-thaw viability of bovine spermatozoa packaged in .5-milliliter French straws

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of thawing groups of 2, 5, 10, 15, or 20 .5-ml French straws on post-thaw spermatozoal viability. Thermostatically controlled and nonthermostatically controlled thawing baths were compared. Using a split-plot design, semen from 10 bulls was extended in egg yolk citrate, frozen, and then thawed (in the respective groups) at 36 degrees C in two types of thawing baths. Motility and percentage of intact acrosomes were determined immediately after thawing (0 h) and again after 4 h of incubation at the respective temperature of each thawing bath. Neither percentage of intact acrosomes nor motility was influenced by the number of straws thawed at 0 h (P greater than .05). Thawing bath had no effect (P greater than .05) on motility or percentage of intact acrosomes at 0 h. Bull variation was significant in both the 0- and 4-h evaluations. After 4 h of incubation, there was a significant (P less than .05) straw number x thawing bath interaction. When 15 or 20 straws were thawed in the thermostatically controlled bath there was a reduction (P less than .05) in motility and percentage of intact acrosomes. However, in the nonthermostatically controlled bath there was no reduction in motility and percentage of intact acrosomes as the size of straw group increased. Our results indicate that, when using a nonthermostatically controlled thawing bath, semen packaged in .5-ml straws can be thawed in groups of 20 without an effect on post-thaw sperm viability.

Cryopreservation of Ghagus chicken semen: Effect of cryoprotectants,diluents and thawing temperature

The present study evaluated the effects of cryoprotectants, semen diluents and thawing temperature during Ghagus chicken semen cryopreservation. Four different experiments were conducted; Experiment 1—semen was cryopreserved using 6% dimethylacetamide (DMA) and 2% dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) in Sasaki diluent (SD) and Lake and Ravie diluent (LR), Experiment 2 and 3—semen was cryopreserved using 8% ethylene glycol (EG) in SD, LRD and Red Fowl Extender (RFE), Experiment 4—semen was cryopreserved using 6% dimethylformamide (DMF) in SD, LR and Beltsville poultry semen extender (BPSE). Semen was cryopreserved in 0.5 ml French straws. Thawing was done at 5°C for 100 s in ice water in Experiments 1, 2 and 4, whereas in Experiment 3 thawing was done at 37°C for 30 s. The post-thaw sperm motility, viable sperm and acrosome-intact sperm were significantly (p < .05) lower in cryopreserved samples in all the experiments. No fertile eggs were obtained from cryopreserved samples in Experiments 1 and 2, except for 8% EG RFE treatment where the fertility was 0.83%. In Experiments 3 and 4, highest fertility was obtained in LR treatment 48.12 and 30.89%, respectively. In conclusion, using cryoprotectant EG (8%) and thawing at 37°C for 30 s, and DMF(6%) resulted in acceptable level of fertility in Ghagus chicken. Though the diluents influenced post-thaw in vitro semen parameters, the fertility was not affected. In addition, results indicated that thawing temperature may be a critical stage in the cryopreservation protocol.     

Melatonin can improve viability and functional integrity of cooled and frozen/thawed rabbit spermatozoa

Melatonin is known to protect sperm against freezing-inflicted damage in different domestic species. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of supplementation of semen extender with melatonin on the quality and DNA integrity of cooled and frozen/thawed rabbit spermatozoa. We also investigated whether the addition of melatonin to the semen extender could improve the fertility of rabbit does artificially inseminated with frozen/thawed semen. Semen samples collected from eight rabbit bucks were pooled and then diluted in INRA-82 supplemented either with (0.5, 1.0 or 1.5 mM) or without (0.0 mM) melatonin. Diluted semen was cooled at 5°C for 24 hr. For cryopreservation and based on the first experiment's best result, semen samples were diluted in INRA-82 in the presence or absence of 1.0 mM melatonin and then frozen in 0.25 ml straws. Following cooling or thawing, sperm quality and DNA integrity were evaluated. Furthermore, the fertility of frozen/thawed semen was investigated after artificial insemination. Supplementation of semen extender with 1.0 mM melatonin improved (p < .05) motility, viability, membrane and acrosome integrities in cooled semen compared with other groups. Sperm quality and DNA integrity were higher (p < .05) in frozen/thawed semen diluted in 1.0 mM melatonin-supplemented extender than in the control group. Conception and birth rates were higher in does inseminated with 1.0 mM melatonin treated semen compared with the controls. In conclusion, supplementation of semen extender with 1.0 mM melatonin improved the quality of cooled and frozen/thawed rabbit spermatozoa. Melatonin can preserve DNA integrity and enhance the fertility of frozen/thawed rabbit spermatozoa.     

Effect of Docosahexaenoic Acid on Quality of Cryopreserved Boar Semen in Different Breeds

During the cryopreservation process, the level of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), in the sperm plasma membrane decreases significantly because of lipid peroxidation, which may contribute to sperm loss quality (i.e. fertility) of frozen–thawed semen. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementation of DHA (fish oil) in freezing extender II on frozen–thawed semen quality. Semen from 20 boars of proven motility and morphology, were used in this study. Boar semen was split into four groups, in which the lactose–egg yolk (LEY) extender used to resuspend the centrifuged sperm pellet was supplemented with various levels of fish oil to reach DHA level of 1X (group I, control, no added fish oil), 6X (group II), 12X (group III) and 18X (group IV). Semen solutions were frozen by using a controlled rate freezer. After cryopreservation, frozen semen was thawed and evaluated for progressive motility, viability by using SYBR‐14/Ethidiumhomodimer‐1 (EthD‐1) staining and acrosome integrity by using FITC‐PNA/EthD‐1 staining. There was a significantly higher (p < 0.001) percentage of progressive motility, viability and acrosome integrity in DHA (fish oil) supplemented groups than control group. Generally, there seemed to be a dose‐dependent effect of DHA, with the highest percentage of progressive motility, viability and acrosome integrity in group‐III. In conclusion, supplementation of the LEY extender with DHA by adding fish oil was effective for freezing boar semen as it resulted in higher post‐thaw plasma membrane integrity and progressive motility.     

Cryopreserving turkey semen in straws and nitrogen vapour using DMSO or DMA: effects of cryoprotectant concentration,freezing rate and thawing rate on post-thaw semen quality

1. This study was designed to identify a suitable protocol for freezing turkey semen in straws exposed to nitrogen vapour by examining the effects of dimethylacetamide (DMA) or dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as cryoprotectant (CPA), CPA concentration, freezing rate and thawing rate on in vitro post-thaw semen quality.

2. Pooled semen samples were diluted 1:1 (v:v) with a freezing extender composed of Tselutin diluent containing DMA or DMSO to give final concentrations of 8% or 18% DMA and 4% or 10% DMSO. The semen was packaged in 0.25 ml plastic straws and frozen at different heights above the liquid nitrogen (LN₂) surface (1, 5 and 10 cm) for 10 min. Semen samples were thawed at 4°C for 5 min or at 50°C for 10 s. After thawing, sperm motility, viability and osmotic tolerance were determined.

3. Cryosurvival of turkey sperm was affected by DMSO concentration. Freezing rate affected the motility of sperm cryopreserved using both CPAs, while thawing rates showed an effect on the motility of sperm cryopreserved using DMA and on the viability of sperm cryopreserved using DMSO. Significant interactions between freezing rate × thawing rate on sperm viability in the DMA protocol were found.

4. The most effective freezing protocol was the use of 18% DMA or 10% DMSO with freezing 10 cm above the LN₂ surface and a thawing temperature of 50°C. An efficient protocol for turkey semen would improve prospects for sperm cryobanks and the commercial use of frozen turkey semen.     

Effect of cryoprotectants and thawing temperatures on chicken sperm quality

There is need for standardization of freezing–thawing protocol for rooster semen to minimize variability among results. Therefore, we aimed to compare effect of four different permeating cryoprotectants and two thawing temperatures (37 vs. 5°C) on sperm post‐thaw motility and to analyse combined effect of the best permeating cryoprotectant (P‐CPA) with one of four non‐permeating cryoprotectants (N‐CPA) on post‐thaw quality of rooster semen evaluated in vitro. Pooled semen from Ross PM3 rooster heavy line was diluted in Kobidil extender and frozen in cryoprotectant solution containing 6% dimethylacetamide, 7.5% dimethylformamide, 9% N‐methylacetamide or 8% ethylene glycol (EG) in liquid nitrogen vapours. To determine the best thawing rate, straws were thawed either at 37 or 5°C. Furthermore, samples were frozen in the presence of the best N‐CPA either with 0.75 mol/L ficoll, 0.2 mol/L sucrose, 0.2 mol/L trehalose or 0.05 mol/L glycine. Sperm motility, membrane destabilization and viability were analysed to compare different freezing–thawing conditions. In addition, morphology and ultrastructure analysis were performed to compare fresh and frozen‐thawed sperm quality. Our results indicate that the combination of EG and the thawing at 5°C improves (p ≤ .05) sperm post‐thaw motility. Moreover, ficoll addition to EG‐based freezing extender provided additional beneficial effect (p ≤ .05) on progressive movement and apoptosis incidence. Further work should evaluate different N‐CPA concentrations to improve freezing protocol. In addition, fertility evaluation and testing on different chicken lines are needed in order to contribute to animal genetic resources bank.     

红腹锦鸡精液冷冻稀释液配方的筛选

为加强濒危珍稀动物种质资源的保护,开展了濒危珍稀禽类—红腹锦鸡的人工授精研究。2005年5月26日~6月8日,对8只红腹锦鸡用手按摩其背、尾部采精12次。初测其精液品质,结果表明,采精量平均(0.114±0.016)mL(0.01~0.2 mL),每毫升精液中精子平均3.2亿个(3.0~3.3亿),活力9级以上,pH值6.5,偏酸性,淡乳白色(半透明似冲熟的藕粉),微腥。鲜精分别加11%蔗糖—卵黄稀释液(3号液);11%蔗糖—0.1%柠檬酸三钠—卵黄稀释液(5号液);5%葡萄糖—卵黄稀释液(8号液)。精子活力达8~9级。用3%柠檬酸三钠—卵黄稀释液(2号液)稀释,精子活力2级。冷冻时,用11%蔗糖溶液100 mL中加16 mL鲜卵黄,加5 mL甘油,配制的3号冷冻稀释液稀释,解冻后,精子活力达4级。优于试验中选拟的其它配方(加入5 mL甘油的5号冷冻液,解冻后精子活力为3级;加入5 mL甘油的8号冷冻液,解冻后未见活的精子)。如果冷冻稀释液中甘油改为6 mL,则解冻后精子全部死亡。     

Assessment of Sperm Viability by Measurement of ATP,Membrane Integrity and Motility in Frozen/Thawed Bull Semen

Control of sperm quality after commercial freezing/thawing of bull semen is still restricted to the subjective assessment of sperm motility, despite its low correlation to fertility (Söderquist et al. 1991, Kjaestad et al. 1993). Although no single in vitro method has yet been designed to predict the fertilizing ability of a given semen sample, the quantitation of viable spermatozoa (with intact plasma and acrosome membranes, and metabolically active) seems to be most promising (Woelders et al. 1991). The present report describes the use of a bioluminiscence technique to determine ATP-levels and a novel supravital stain (using fluorescent dyes) to assess the amount of viable spermatozoa in frozen/thawed semen from 3 A.I. dairy bulls with significantly different motility after thawing.     

咖啡因对猪精液冷冻的影响及冷冻－解冻方法的优化

本试验对猪精液冷冻保护液中添加咖啡因的作用进行了研究,并优化冷冻－解冻程序,提高0.5 mL细管猪精液冷冻解冻后的质量。在预先设计稀释液配方的基础上,使咖啡因终浓度为0、0.2、0.4、0.6 mg/mL,选择最佳咖啡因浓度,选出最优组合与传统的TCG稀释液和商业用Androhep〖XC1.TIF〗CryoGuardTM冷冻稀释液进行比较,比较3种不同的冷冻曲线对猪冷冻精液解冻后精子品质的影响,最后对38 ℃下30 s、50 ℃下13 s 2种解冻方法进行比较。结果表明,咖啡因浓度为0.2、0.4 mg/mL的精子冷冻后活力、质膜完整率、顶体完整率显著高于0、0.6 mg/mL（P＜0.05）,最佳添加浓度为0.2 mg/mL;预设计的稀释液配方及冷冻方案优于传统的TCG法（P＜0.05）,但与Androhep〖XC1.TIF〗CryoGuardTM稀释液(美国商业用)有一定差距（P＜0.05）;A曲线在猪精液冷冻－解冻后活力、质膜完整率和顶体完整率方面均显著优于B和C冷冻曲线（P＜0.05）;50 ℃水浴解冻13 s显著优于38 ℃解冻30 s（P＜0.05）。     

Assessment of Fertility after Using Different Procedures to Thaw Ram Spermatozoa Frozen in Mini Straws

Contents
In this study, fertility rates were compared after using different procedures (50°C and 70°C) to thaw ram spermatozoa frozen in mini straws. Semen from three, 1.5–2.5-year-old rams of the same breed, selected for use in an AI programme, was collected using an artificial vagina. The semen was diluted with a skim milk extender containing 7% glycerol (v/v), packed in 0.25-ml mini straws and frozen in a programmable freezer. Post-thaw sperm motility was assessed subjectively using a phase contrast microscope. Sperm membrane integrity was assessed with fluorescent dyes (Calcein AM/EthD-1). Statistically significant variation in the incidence of membrane integrity was found, both between rams and between freezing operations. Significant differences between the different thawing procedures used in this study were seen for membrane integrity (p < 0.01), as assessed with the fluorescent dyes (Calcein AM/EthD-1), but not for the post-thaw motility. The average fertility in this study was 39.7%, with a wide variation between freezing operations (not significant), rams (p < 0.001; 30.4, 33.3 and 64.6%) and flocks (p < 0.001, range: 14.8–61.6%). No statistically significant differences were found for the different thawing procedures, in terms of the fertility (39.0 and 40.4%, respectively) and the litter size (1.32 and 1.41, respectively). Thawing at 50°C for 9 s, instead of 70°C for 5 s, does not seem to further affect either fertility or litter size. The use of this lower temperature would facilitate the practical use of frozen–thawed ram semen under farm conditions in Sweden.     

不同浓度大豆卵磷脂替代蛋黄对东佛里生奶绵羊精液冷冻保存效果的影响

本试验皆在研究添加不同浓度大豆卵磷脂（SL）冷冻保存东佛里生奶绵羊精液的效果。我们在Tris基础稀释液中,添加18%蛋黄为对照组,添加0.5%、1%、1.5%、2%、2.5%SL设为试验组,检测冷冻精液解冻后的精子活率和顶体完整率。结果显示,添加0.5%、2.5% SL冷冻稀释液稀释的精液,解冻后精子活率和顶体完整率与其他组之间存在显著差异（P<0.05）;添加18%蛋黄和1%～2% SL冷冻稀释液稀释的精液,冷冻解冻后精子活率和顶体完整率之间无显著差异（P>0.05）;添加18%蛋黄和1.0%～1.5% SL冷冻稀释液稀释后的精液,进行人工授精后母羊的妊娠率与对照组无显著差异（P>0.05）。因此,大豆卵磷脂可以作为冷冻保护剂用于东佛里生奶绵羊精液的冷冻保存,其最佳添加浓度为1～2%（g／L）。     

Short communication: Progressive motility of frozen–thawed canine semen is highest five minutes after thawing

Progressive motility is usually estimated by visual inspection using a light contrast microscope at X 100 immediately after semen collection or immediately after thawing frozen semen. Standard operating procedures have never been established for this test. The objective of this experiment was to examine time‐dependent changes of motility after thawing cryopreserved canine semen. Semen of 35 dogs was collected, and volume, concentration, progressive motility, morphology, membrane integrity and HOS test were evaluated. For cryopreservation, CaniPRO^® Freeze A&B was used. Semen was thawed and diluted using CaniPRO^® culture medium. After thawing, semen was evaluated as before. In addition, every sample was evaluated for progressively motile sperm cells 0, 5, 20 and 60 min after thawing. Progressive semen motility was significantly highest five minutes after thawing.     

Influence of the Preservation Temperature (37, 20, 4, −196°C) and the Mixing of Semen over Sperm Quality of Majorera Bucks

This study assessed the effect of different semen storage temperatures and the influence of semen pooling in semen viability. In experiment 1, semen samples (n = 30) of five Majorera bucks were individually processed [Individual semen (IS)] and after the first dilution (Tris‐yolk extender), semen‐diluted aliquots from each male were pooled semen (PS). Thereafter, semen samples (IS and PS) were preserved as fresh semen (37 and 20°C), chilled semen (4°C) and frozen semen. Sperm motility and the percentage of abnormal sperm cells and intact membrane acrosomes were defined. Semen preservation at 20 and 4°C did not modify the quality of spermatozoa for the first 24 h, but the conservation at 37°C caused a dramatic fall in the semen motility from 12 h onwards. Furthermore, the longevity of frozen‐thawed semen was limited to 4–6 h. No differences were observed in semen parameters when PS was compared with semen from individual males in any of the preservation protocols assessed. In experiment 2, 120 goats were distributed in four experimental groups: in group fresh individual semen (FIS, n = 30) and group frozen‐thawed individual semen (FTIS, n = 30), does were transcervically inseminated with fresh semen and frozen‐thawed semen from each individual male, respectively, and in group fresh pooled semen (FPS, n = 30) and group frozen‐thawed pooled semen (FTPS, n = 30), goats were transcervically inseminated with FPS and FTPS, respectively. The kidding rate was very close in the FIS and FPS groups (70.0% and 73.7%, respectively), and no significant differences were observed in the fertility rate between FTIS and FTPS. The results of this study confirmed that semen samples may be preserved satisfactorily for 24 h both at 20 and 4°C. In addition, the mixture of semen of different bucks did not significantly modify the semen parameters when compared with semen from individual males.     

冷冻方法对杜泊绵羊冷冻精液品质的影响

试验对绵羊精液分别采用液氮熏蒸冷冻法和冷冻仪冷冻法进行冷冻,通过测定精液解冻后精子活率、顶体完整率、质膜完整率和谷草转氨酶活性及乳酸脱氢酶活性来比较不同的冷冻方法对解冻后精液品质的影响;通过测定精液稀释后、平衡后、冷冻仪法冷冻后的酶活性来比较谷草转氨酶与乳酸脱氢酶在不同阶段的释放量。结果表明,采用冷冻仪法冷冻后的精子活率和质膜完整率极显著高于液氮熏蒸冷冻法（P<0.01）;冷冻仪法冷冻后的谷草转氨酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性极显著低于液氮熏蒸冷冻法（P<0.01）;精液稀释后的谷草转氨酶和乳酸脱氢酶活性极显著低于精液冷冻后的活性（P<0.01）。表明采用冷冻仪冷冻法的绵羊精液品质好于液氮熏蒸冷冻法。精子中谷草转氨酶主要在平衡阶段释放,而乳酸脱氢酶主要在冷冻阶段释放。
