Canine Sperm Cryopreservation Breakthrough Promises Improved Breeding and Conservation Efforts
Dog semen was frozen using different substances to improve the freezing process. Comparing glycerol and ethylene glycol, glycerol worked better at a 4% concentration. Keeping the frozen sperm for 60 minutes at 4 ℃ before using it was also found to be more favorable. Results showed that using glycerol at 4%, and balancing for 60 minutes at 4 ℃, led to a higher recovery rate for canine sperm freezing, with an average of 39.21% recovery rate. This combination was found to be quite reliable for preserving canine semen.
