Cryopreservation of boar semen in 0.5mL straws at low spermatozoa concentration is better than high concentration to maintain sperm viability

ABSTRACT: To date, no studies have been performed evaluating the effect of boar spermatozoa concentration in 0.5mL freezing straws, leading us to examine this question. Each sperm-rich fraction of the ejaculate (n=25) was diluted at five different sperm concentrations (100, 200, 300, 600 and 800 x 1...
