ABSTRACT
The present study was performed to investigate the effects of supplementing flaxseed oil (FO) or vitamin E (VE) or their combination to an extender for Simmental bull semen cryopreservation. In experiment 1, different concentrations of FO (0, 10, 100, and 1000 ng/mL) and VE (0.05, 0.1, and 0.2 mg/mL) were added to the extenders. In experiment 2, FO, VE, and FO + VE were added and a control group was included. Sperm viability, motility, motion parameters, acrosome integrity and membrane integrity, endogenous antioxidant indices, reactive oxygen species, and malondialdehyde levels were evaluated after semen thawing. A higher percentage of viability, motion parameters, endogenous antioxidant indices, and membrane integrity was observed after supplementation with 10 ng/mL FO or 0.1 mg/mL VE compared with the control group (p < 0.05). Also, combined supplementation of 10 ng/mL FO +0.1 mg/mL VE further improved the quality of frozen-thawed sperm by regulating viability, motion parameters, membrane integrity, and endogenous antioxidant indices compared with the FO or VE alone (p < 0.05). These results indicated that FO (10 ng/mL) + VE (0.1 mg/mL) could further improve the protective effects on bull sperm post-thaw.
