Effect of ethyl pyruvate on the artificial insemination liquid of boar spermatozoa

The success of artificial insemination (AI) in the swine industry relies on conserving the quality of boar sperm during liquid storage, as boar spermatozoa are prone to oxidative stress due to the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content and lack of antioxidant defenses. Sperm motility, viability, ac...

  • Abstract INTRODUCTION MATERIALS AND METHODS Preparation and storage of boar semen Measurement of sperm motility Sperm viability Acrosome integrity Chromatin stability Reactive oxygen species Statistical analysis RESULTS Sperm motility increased in the presence of ethyl pyruvate during storage Ethyl pyruvate supplementation led to increased sperm viability during liquid storage Acrosome integrity improved when stored with ethyl pyruvate Sperm DNA was conserved in Beltsville thawing solution with ethyl pyruvateduring the storage Reactive oxygen species was notably decreased in the presence of ethyl pyruvateduring storage DISCUSSION REFERENCES
