Summary

Dialysis had a small positive effect on fertilizing ability of semen stored for 4 hours at 5 deg C, and a large positive effect on fertilizing ability of semen stored for 24 hours. Dialysis before cryopreservation did not improve fertilizing ability. The effects of storage for 4 hours were only apparent in eggs collected 9 or more days after insemination. Semen stored for 24 hours gave reduced fertilizing ability in the 1st week after insemination, especially when no dialysis was applied.
