PROSTAGLANDIN F2α SUPPLEMENTED SEMEN IMPROVES LANDRACE BOARS SPERM MOTILITY
This study investigated whether the sperm motility from Landrace boars improves when PGF2α (Dinolytic®; 5 mg PGF2α /ml) was added to diluted semen. Boars from one large production unit, were manually collected; semen was either enriched with PGF2α (group 1, n=38), either untreated (group 2, n=32). T...

| Summary: | This study investigated whether the sperm motility from Landrace boars improves when PGF2α (Dinolytic®; 5 mg PGF2α /ml) was added to diluted semen. Boars from one large production unit, were manually collected; semen was either enriched with PGF2α (group 1, n=38), either untreated (group 2, n=32). Total volume of semen collected, percent of motility and number of obtained doses were recorded. The highest sperm volume collected from the two groups is corresponding to ejaculates from Landrace boars with PGF2α supplemented semen (267.6 m)l. Regarding motility, the sperm collected from Landrace boars with PGF2α supplemented semen was higher from the one collected from Landrace boars with untreated semen (81.37%) and very significant differences were statistically determined. The ejaculates with highest number of obtained doses is corresponding to the ones collected from boars with PGF2α supplemented semen (25.21). Only boars from the first group (with PGF2α supplemented semen) showed motility over 70% and even 100%. The untreated semen showed motility values around 65-70%. |
