  • Title: [Preservation capability of horse semen by the use of two diluents and preservation temperatures].
    Author: Tekin N, Wöckener A, Klug E.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1989 May; 96(5):258-60, 265. PubMed ID: 2752931.
    Abstract:
    The effect of a skim milk extender and a glycine-containing extender on sperm motility and acrosome morphology of stallion semen was examined. There was no difference concerning acrosome morphology. After 24 hours of preservation motility of the ejaculates diluted with glycine extender was significantly superior to those handled with skim milk extender. Storage at 5 degrees C in all cases gave better results than storage at room temperature. Skim milk extender is an appropriate diluent when the semen is used for al on the day of its collection, whereas the glycine-containing extender offers the possibility to maintain sperm viability beyond 24 hours up to 72 hours.
