Summary

FROZEN SEMEN IS A PRACTICAL MEANS OF PRESERVING VALUABLE GERM PLASM. MONITORED SAMPLES OF SEMEN CRYOPRESERVED WITH GLYCEROL FOR HETEROZYGOUS, DOMINANT MARKER STOCKS AND FOR 9 CHROMOSOMAL REARRANGEMENT LINES HAD SUFFICIENTLY HIGH FERTILITY FOR GERM-LINE RETRIEVAL. THE RESULTS ALSO INDICATED A POTENTIAL FOR THE GENETIC SELECTION OF CERTAIN LINES FOR THE FREEZABILITY OF SPERMATOZOA, SINCE STOCK AND LINE DIFFERENCES IN FERTILITY OCCURRED WHEN PREVIOUSLY FROZEN SEMEN WAS USED FOR INSEMINATION.
