Post-Thaw Characteristics of the Simmental Sperm Function in Different Ages of Bulls

This study aims to determine the effect of the age difference of Simmental bulls on motion characteristics, capacitation status, and DNA fragmentation of post-thawing sperms. The frozen semen used was collected from twelve bulls, which were divided into four groups of age, which include a group of t...

Zusammenfassung:This study aims to determine the effect of the age difference of Simmental bulls on motion characteristics, capacitation status, and DNA fragmentation of post-thawing sperms. The frozen semen used was collected from twelve bulls, which were divided into four groups of age, which include a group of two, four, ≥ 10 years old with high semen rejection (≥ 10 HR), and ≥ 10 years old with low semen rejection (≥ 10 LR). Computer Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) was used to determine sperm motion characteristics, capacitation status by chlortetracycline (CTC) staining, plasma membrane integrity, and viability using eosin-nigrosine staining. In contrast, the DNA fragmentation index was determined using the Sperm-Bos-halomax kit. The results showed that the four year old group had a higher total and progressive motility percentage than the others (p
