Abstract

본 연구는 개 채취 정액의 동결후의 생존성과 신선 및 동결 정자의 capacitation, acrosome reaction과 생존성을 조사하고, 아울러 신선 및 동결 정액을 자연 발정 또는 발정 유기 암캐 에게 인공수정 후 임신율을 조사하였다. 개 채취 정액의 동결 융해 후의 생존성은 $64.5{\pm}2.30%$로서 신선 정액의 생존성에 비해 유의하게 낮게 나타났다(p<0.05). 신선 및 동결 정액의 capacitation, acrosome reaction 및 생존성은 각각 $52.5{\pm}4.5%,\;9.5{\pm}0.6%,\;68.8{\pm}4.5%$$16.2{\pm}3.2%,\;3.2{\pm}0.5%,\;24.5{\pm}2.5%$로 나타났다. 신선 및 동결 정액을 자연 발정 또는 발정을 유기한 암캐에 인공수정했을 때 임신율은 각각 50.0% 및 33.3%로서 동결 정액을 이용했을 때 임신율이 신선 정액에 비해 낮은 임신율을 나타냈다.
