Summary

The isotonic sugar media could enable some improvement of cryopreservation of bull semen over the currently used Tris-egg yolk medium. Further improvement of sperm survival at the artificial insemination station should be posiible by implementation of controlled rate freezing, using a cooling rate in the optimal range between 76 and 140 deg C/minute.
