Soybean lecithin and coconut oil boost bull semen quality, revolutionizing livestock breeding.
The study aimed to see how different amounts of soybean lecithin and virgin coconut oil in a special liquid affected the quality of bull semen when chilled or frozen. They collected semen from bulls, added the oils to it, and stored it at different temperatures. They found that using 1.5% soybean lecithin in the liquid improved the quality of chilled semen. However, the frozen semen quality was better with the control liquid that had egg yolk in it.
