  • Title: Effect of straw size and thawing time on quality of cryopreserved buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) semen.
    Author: Ansari MS, Rakha BA, Andrabi SM, Akhter S.
    Journal: Reprod Biol; 2011 Mar; 11(1):49-54. PubMed ID: 21455280.
    Abstract:
    This study was designed to compare the effect of straw size (0.25 vs. 0.5 ml) and thawing time (30 vs. 60 sec) on the quality of cryopreserved buffalo bull semen. Sperm motility, plasma membrane integrity and viability were higher (p ≤ 0.05) in 0.25 ml than 0.5 ml straw, thawed at 37°C either for 30 or 60 sec. In conclusion, cryopreservation of buffalo semen in 0.25 ml straw resulted in a higher post-thaw quality.
