Efecto de dos diluyentes (agua de coco vs andromed®) en la crioconservación del semen bovino.

Resumen

The cryopreservation of semen is an important reproductive biotechnology, which seeks to promote the conservation of male germplasm for an indeterminate period of time. The type of diluent is fundamental for the study of this technique, and one of its difficulties is to choose the adequate one for the different components that these have, since these can affect the composition of the sperm medium, the main objective of this research is to evaluate the effect of two diluents on the cryopreservation of bovine semen, two types of diluents were used, one is water based. coconut and the other one is commercially acquired with the name of Andromed®, two ejaculates were made to a stallion of the race Gyr x Montbéliarde of 4 years of age, each ejaculate was divided in two for the incorporation of the treatments, as a result that the treatment with the Andromed® diluent obtained a better response to cryopreservation having in average or 57% of group motility or sperm survival, on the other hand the diluent based on coconut water does not obtain satisfactory results with only 10% on average sperm survival, but it must be taken into account that the water-based diluent Coconut showed good results in the refrigeration phase, therefore this would be a good option for farmers who want to implement this technology in their herds without major expenses
