Summary

THE EFFECTS OF THE DIALYZABLE FRACTIONS FROM BOVINE SEMINAL PLASMA, EGG YOLK, AND MILK AND OF TWO BUFFER SYSTEMS ON POST-THAW SPERM MOTILITY WERE STUDIED. AFTER COLLECTION, SEMEN SAMPLES WERE EXTENDED (1:20), COOLED TO 278 K (5 DEG C) IN 1.5 HR, AND FROZEN IN 0.5-CC FRENCH STRAWS AFTER 3 HR OF EQUILIBRATION. POST-THAW SAMPLES WERE ASSAYED. SPERM SURVIVAL IN EXTENDERS CONTAINING HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF SEMINAL PLASMA AND/OR EGG YOLK SALTS WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER.
