Abstract

Forty dog semen ejaculates were diluted in three extenders at the rate of 1:3, and subjected to slow freezing in a programmable freezer. Tris and Triladyl extenders were superior and significantly different from Laiciphos-488 (p< 0.01) on post thaw values for motility, live sperm and membrane integrity in slow freezing protocol.

Keywords: Dog semen, Semen extenders, Slow freezing rate, Sperm motility, Acrosome integrity, Sperm membrane integrity
