2006. Cryo-preservation of Boar goat spermatozoa and variation in
sperm kinematics between bucks was assessed
by
computer assisted semen analysis (CASA).
Cryo-preservation affected sperm
motility,
progressive motility, path velocity,
progressive
velocity, track speed, beat cross frequency, straightness and
linearity. The
reduction in lateral amplitude of sperm head in post-thaw semen was
also lower.
Significant differences were noticed
between bucks in
post-thaw semen for path velocity and progressive velocity. The
variations
found between bucks in post-thaw semen for beat cross frequency and
linearity
were highly significant (P ≤ 0.01).
