Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of both pure rainbow trout seminal plasma (RTSP) supplementation and RTSP-cysteine combination on cryopreservation success and post-thaw incubation resilience of ram semen in the nonbreeding season. For this purpose, different doses of RTSP (0%, 1%, 10%, and 15%) with or without cysteine supplementation were used for experiments. Ejaculates chosen for experiments were pooled and then divided into eight equal volumes for grouping (Control-ControlC, RTSP1-RTSP1C, RTSP10-RTSP10C, and RTSP15-RTSP15C). After cryopreservation, frozen-thawed semen samples were incubated for 5 hours at 37°C for determination of post-thaw incubation resistance. Motility, HOST, TUNEL, Rh123-PI, and CTC tests were performed at 0 hour and 3rd and 5th hours of post-thaw incubation to evaluate the efficacy of all experimental groups. The RTSP10 and RTSP10C groups were noted to provide the best protection on motility, plasma membrane integrity, DNA integrity, and mitochondrial function of cryopreserved ram semen. On the other hand, the best protection against cryo-capacitation was observed in RTSP15 and RTSP15C groups. The addition of cysteine was found to be effective when the higher (15%) or lower (1%) doses of RTSP were used, as well as for no use of RTSP.Keywords
