Abstract
Chicken spermatozoa have the ability to survive in low-temperature environments; however, the effects of low temperature on sperm motility and acrosome damage have not been studied in detail. The present study investigated semen longevity following dilution of rooster semen with Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender (BPSE) and Lake extender in preservation vessels (1.5 mL e-tube and 0.5 mL straw). Spermatozoa motility in the closed-type vessel (0.5 mL straw) was higher than that in the 1.5 mL e-tube on day 3 of preservation (68.6±3.1% vs. 22.1±5.7%). The motility of rooster semen diluted with BPSE in 0.5 mL straw was also higher than that of the Lake extender on day 3 of preservation (57.7±5.6% vs. 37.7±5.4%). Furthermore, acrosome intactness was higher in 0.5 mL straw than in the 1.5 mL e-tube, and the rate of acrosome cap damage increased with preservation days. The present study demonstrates that a closed 0.5-mL straw vessel could be used for low-temperature semen preservation, with an increased motility rate and acrosome integrity in fresh rooster semen.
