본 연구는 진도개 동결정액 제조기술을 정립하기 위하여 진도개 정액성상과 동결 전후 정액의 활력과 생존율 및 CASAs를 이용한 운동성 등에 대하여 조사하였고, 백구와 황구간, 개체간의 정액성상과 내동성을 비교, 조사하였다. 이상의 연구결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 총 63회 정액채취 후 신선정액의 평균 정액량 3.8 $m\ell$, 농도 145.6$\times$$10^{6}$$m\ell$, 총정자수 396.2$\times$08/$m\ell$, 전진운동율 79.7% 및 생존율 89.5% 였다. 황구와 백구간에는 황구가, 개체간에는 황구 2호가 정자농도, 총정자수, 전진운동정자율 및 생존율 등의 정액성상에서 유의적으로 우수하였다(P<0.05). 2. 동결전.후 정자의 전진운동율과 생존율을 46회 조사한 결과 동결전 73.5%와 82.3%를, 동결후 51.1%와 64.9%를 나타내 동결과정이 전진운동율과 생존율에 영향이 있었으며, 역시 황구와 백구간에는 황구가, 개체간에는 황구 2호가 동결전후 전진운동율과 생존율에서 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다 (P<0.05). 3. 동결.융해정자의 보다 객관적인 평가를 위하여 CASA system을 이용한 총 44회 평가한 결과, 생존율 65.6%, 전진운동율 54.8%, VAP 75.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$/sec, VCL 90.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$/sec, VSL 69.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$/sec 및 ALH 4.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$로 동결 융해 정액의 운동성은 양호하였고, 황구와 백구간의 운동성에는 유의적인 차이가 없었으나, 개체간에는 역시 황구 2호가 운동성이 우수하여 유의적인 차이가 인정되었다 (P<0.05). 4. 채취된 정액중 백구는 46%(13/28), 황구는 94%(33/35)가 동결정액 제조가 가능해 황구가 내동성이 좋았으며, 전체적으로 73%(46/63) 동결정액 제조가 가능하였다. 결론적으로 진도개의 동결정액을 제조하기 위하여 정액성상 및 동결 전후 운동성을 조사한 결과 동결정액 제조와 생산체계의 구축이 가능하였으며, 황구와 백구간, 개체간의 정액성상과 동결전후의 운동성에 차이가 인정되므로 정액성상과 내동성을 고려한 종견선발 체계가 필요하다고 사려되었다.
This study was carried out to investigate the semen characteristic, motility and viability and sperm motion characteristic by CASA test for establishing the Jindo-dog's semen freezing system. The results obtained are as follow: 1. The semen was collected 63 times. Average volume of semen, concentration of sperm, total number of sperm, progressive motility and viability were 3.8 $m\ell$ 145.6$\times$10$^{6}$ cells/$m\ell$, 396.2 x10$^{8}$ cells, 79.7% and 89.5%, respectively. Also, Fawn (Yellow) Jindo-dog comparing with White Jindo-dog showed better concentration of sperm, total number of sperm, progressive motility and viability. Among all dogs, the results of No. 2 Fawn Jindo-dog were the best. 2. The average progressive motility and viability of semen from 46 times were 73.5%, 82.3% before freezing and 51.1%, 64.9% after freezing. So, the freezing of semen has affected the progressive motility and viability. The progressive motility and viability of Fawn Jindo-dog's semen, before and after freezing, were better than White Jindo-dog. And No. 2 Fawn Jindo-dog showed the best results and showed significantly different among all dogs (P<0.05). 3. The 44 times-tested .esults by CASA system were as follow; MOT (motility) 65.6%. PROG (progressive motility) 54.8%, VAP (average path velocity) 75.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/sec, VCL (curve linear velocity) 90.0 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/sec, VSL (straight-line velocity) 69.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/sec and ALH (amplitude of lateral head displacement) 4.4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Although the motion characteristic of frozen semen were not significantly different between White and Fawn Jindo-dog, No. 2 Fawn Jindo-dog showed the best results and was significantly different among all dogs (P<0.05). 4. The success rate of frozen semen production between White and Fawn Jindo-dog were 43% (13/28), 94% (33/35), respectively, and the total success rate was 73% (46/63). The freezing-ability of Fawn Jindo-dog's semen was better than the other. Conclusively, the present results indicated that the characteristic and motility of Jindo-dog') semen were suitable for processing frozen semen, artificial insemination and mass production system. Also, the selection of suitable dog-breed was so important because the characteristic and freezing-ability of semen were significantly different between White and Fawn Jindo-dogs and among all individual dogs.
