Abstract
The current study was planned to investigate the
effects of supplementation of different concentrations of egg yolk (EY) and
Carboxylated Poly-l Lysine (CPLL) on the post-thawed sperm quality of male
Beetal goats. For this purpose, pooled semen of bucks (n=6) was diluted with
Tris-citric acid egg yolk (TCEY) extender containing different concentrations of
EY (0, 5 and 15%) and CPLL (0, 0.1, 0.15, 0.20 and 0.25%). Data were presented
as means with pooled SEM. The main effects, EY and CPLL concentrations, and
their interaction were analyzed using multifactor ANOVA. Minimum values of
progressive motility (PM) and motion kinematics of spermatozoa were observed in
extenders having 0% EY with different CPLL concentrations. The extender
containing 5% EY and 0.25% CPLL resulted in better (P<0.05) PM than 0 and 15% EY
extenders with different CPLL concentrations. The ratio (P<0.05) of sperm with
intact plasma membrane was higher in 5% EY extender with 0.20 and 0.25% CPLL
than in 15% EY extender with corresponding CPLL concentrations The EY
concentration significantly influenced sperm acrosomal integrity, as 0% EY
extenders showed lower (P<0.05) sperm acrosome integrity than 5 and 15% EY
extenders. At various concentrations of CPLL, both 5 and 15% EY extenders had
similar (P>0.05) ratios of acrosomal membrane-intact sperm. In comparison to 0
and 15% EY extenders with various CPLL concentrations, 5% EY extenders had
better (P<0.05) sperm mitochondrial integrity (MI), especially with 0.25% CPLL
concentration. In conclusion, PM, PMI, and MI of Beetal goat spermatozoa were
significantly improved in Tris-citrate extender containing 5% EY and
supplemented with 0.25% CPLL..
