ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of two diluents, one with and the other without Orvus ES paste, and three methods of cryopreservation on the quality of dog semen after thawing. The investigation was carried out on 126 ejaculates collected from 37 dogs. In Expt 1, sperm-rich fractions of ejaculates were frozen in 0.25 ml minitubes and pellets. In Expt 2, each sperm-rich fraction of ejaculate was divided and extended in two diluents, one with and the other without Orvus ES paste. Samples of semen were frozen in pellets and 0.5 ml French straws. Motility, percentage of spermatozoa with normal acrosomes and longevity of spermatozoa were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in semen samples frozen in pellets than in samples frozen in 0.25 ml minitubes. Aspartate aminotransferase activity in extracellular fluid was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in semen frozen in pellets. There were no significant differences in quality after thawing between semen samples frozen in pellets and 0.5 ml French straws. Longevity, unlike acrosome status and aspartate aminotransferase activity, was greater in samples extended in Tris-buffered diluent with addition of Orvus ES paste, regardless of the method of cryopreservation.
