Abstract
Background: The development of assisted reproduction techniques for birds is useful for ex situ conservation but is limited. For the golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos), only artificial insemination procedures using extenders developed over 50 years ago have been described.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of the viscosity of the cryopreservation medium on the acrosomal reaction ability of A. chrysaetos sperm.
Materials and methods: Viscosity was determined in 45 ejaculates. A design using the Lake medium, 6 % dimethylacetamide (DMA), and Ficoll (10 %, 35 %, and 45 %) was developed to create conditions of viscosity that was lower, similar, and higher than those determined in fresh semen.
Results: The viscosity of fresh semen was 3.2320 mPa/s. In aliquots of the Lake medium supplemented with 6 % DMA and 10 %, 35 %, and 45 % Ficoll, the viscosities were 2.1698 mPa/s, 3.5393 mPa/s, and 6.1123 mPa/s, respectively. Post-thaw, in the aliquot with 10 % Ficoll, 74 % of sperm were alive, with 28 % mobility, and 21 % exhibited an acrosomal reaction with percentages that were significantly lower (P < 0.05) than those observed in sperm frozen with 30 % and 45 % Ficoll.
Conclusion: Viscosity has a positive influence on the viability of cryopreserved semen. https://doi.org/10.54680/fr24610110512.
期刊介绍:
A bimonthly international journal for low temperature sciences, including cryobiology, cryopreservation or vitrification of cells and tissues, chemical and physical aspects of freezing and drying, and studies involving ecology of cold environments, and cold adaptation
The journal publishes original research reports, authoritative reviews, technical developments and commissioned book reviews of studies of the effects produced by low temperatures on a wide variety of scientific and technical processes, or those involving low temperature techniques in the investigation of physical, chemical, biological and ecological problems.
