Abstract

This study was designed to investigate between the semen characteristics and sperm chromatin structure in boar with different farrowing rates and relationship between fertility by AI and results of sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA). The CASA (computer-aided sperm analysis) and SCSA were performed with liquid semen in boars. The all SCSA parameters based on the farrowing rates by AI were significantly differ (P<0.05). The significant negative correlations (P<0.05) were observed between all SCSA parameters and farrowing rate obtained by AI in the field. In conclusion, these results suggest that the sperm parameters evaluated in these studies may be useful indicators to predict the fertility by AI.

본 연구는 돼지에서 정자 SCSA와 정자 운동성 및 인공수정을 이용한 분만율과의 상관관계를 조사하기 위해 인공수정센터에서 정액 생산용으로 이용되고 있는 종모돈 중 개체별 정액을 이용한 인공수정 번식성적을 가지고 있는 종모돈 26두의 정액 성상 기록과 번식성적을 분석 하였고, 액상정액을 공시하여 정자운동성 분석과 SCSA를 실시하였다. 종모돈의 정액 채취 횟수에 따른 SCSA 분석은 종모돈 26두를 공시하여 정액을 8주간 6회 채취하여 공시하였다. 종모돈은 인공수정 분만율(80% 이상 ; 종모돈 7두, AI 256복, 8070% ; 종모돈 9두, AI 745복 및 70% 미만 ; 종모돈 10두, AI 293 복)에 따라 3개 군으로 구분 하였다. 액상 정액의 CASA 분석 결과는 분만율에 따른 종모돈 군 간에 유의적인 차이는 인정되지 않았다. 종모돈의 SCSA 결과는 분만율이 높을수록 COMP αt, %Red, %Peak R 및 %Mean R 값은 낮게 나타났고, 분만율이 가장 낮은 종모돈 군과 다른 두 군간에 유의적인 차이를 보였다(P<0.05). 종모돈 정액을 채취 차수에 따른 정액의 성상과 SCSA를 조사한 결과에서 채취 차수에 따른 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 종모돈의 인공수정 분만율과 SCSA 결과와의 상관관계는 COMP αt, SD αt, %Red, %Peak R, Mean R는 모두 부의 상관관계를 나타냈다. 이상의 결과에서 SCSA는 종모돈 정액의 수정 능력을 평가하고 예측하는데 유용한 방법으로 사료된다.
