Summary

THE EFFECT OF VARIOUS THAWING VELOCITIES ON THE MOTILITY AND ACROSOMAL MAINTENANCE OF RAM SPERMATOZOA FROZEN AT 20 K/MIN (OPTIMAL) OR 2 K/MIN (SUBOPTIMAL) WAS STUDIED. THE FREEZE-THAW MOTILITY AND THE PERCENTAGE OF INTACT ACROSOMES OF SPERMATOZOA FROZEN AT 20 K/MIN INCREASED PROGRESSIVELY WITH THE THAWING VELOCITY. THE OPTIMAL FREEZE-THAW CONDITIONS FOR SEMEN PROTECTED BY 4% GLYCEROL WERE FREEZING AT 20 K/MIN AND THAWING IN WATER AT 333 OR 353 K (60 OR 80 DEG C) FOR 8 OR 5 SEC, RESPECTIVELY.
