Summary

SPERMATOZOA TOLERATED A RELATIVELY WIDE RANGE IN CONCENTRATION OF TRIS(HYDROXYMETHYL) AMINOMETHANE, BUT THE CELL SURVIVAL DEPENDED ON THE TYPE OF SUGAR INCLUDED IN THE DILUENT. GLUCOSE AND FRUCTOSE WERE MORE SUITABLE COMPONENTS THAN LACTOSE OR RAFFINOSE. SURVIVAL OF SPERMATOZOA AFTER THAWING WAS BETTER FOR THREE-TO FIVEFOLD THAN TWOFOLD PREFREEZING DILUTION. THERE WAS INTERACTION BETWEEN METHOD OF SEMEN DILUTION (ONE-STEP, TWO-STEP), HOLDING TIME AT 278 K (5 DEG C) AND GLYCEROL CONCENTRATION.
