Summary

Factorially arranged experiments were conducted to study the effects of adding sucrose and trehalose, known to have cryoprotective properties, blood serum, and the antioxidants taurine and hypotaurine on sperm motility after freezing and thawing at different rates. The effects of the compounds studied on motility of frozen-thawed sperm were small, but if they protect sperm cell membranes, as reported for other types of membranes, they may assist sperm in surviving in the reproductive tract of the cow prior to fertilization.
