Seminal Plasma Re-Addition to Ram Semen Ameliorates the Effect of Dilution Rate and Reduces Percentage of Acrosomal Damaged Sperm

Abstract

Artificial insemination with frozen semen has not been widely adopted in sheep because of poor fertility obtained when cervical insemination technique is used. This study examines the effect of seminal plasma re-addition to ram semen on sperm quality, demonstrating that this approach can ameliorate the negative effects of dilution rate and reduce acrosomal damage in spermatozoa.
