| In the present research, the effects of cryopreservation on the viability and acrosomal status of sheep sperms were analyzed. Forty five ejaculates were obtained by the artificial vagina method for analysis, evaluating in fresh semen the following characteristics: volume (Vol), progressive motility (PM), viability percentage (Viab), normal morphology (NM), spermatic concentration (Concentr); as well as its viability and acrosomal status, The last two parameters were evaluated staining with fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated with Arachis hypogaea lectin and propidium iodide (FITC-PNA/IP), in which there were different patterns of staining: live sperms without acrosomal reaction (VsRA), live with acrosomal reaction (VcRA), dead without acrosomal reaction... |
