Semen cryopreservation is crucial maintain genetic diversity of avian species. Little is known about suitable extenders for post-thaw survival of spermatozoa from Thai red junglefowl (Gallus gallus gallus). Therefore, the present study aimed to compare the suitability of the modified Thai red junglefowl extender (TRJFE) for cryopreservation of Thai red junglefowl spermatozoa with other extenders, including the Schramm extender, the red junglefowl extender (RFE), and the HS1 extender, in terms of sperm viability, motility, and fertility.

The importance of submission rates (SR) on conception patterns in dairy herds during a short artificial breeding (AB) programme was first reported in 1973. Subsequent research has focussed on achieving 3-week SRs of 90% through improved detection of oestrus utilising tailpainting and vasectomised bulls fitted with chin-ball harnesses. Despite nutritional limitations of spring pasture as a sole diet, conception rates to first insemination of 65% have been recorded in cycling cows in many trials.

This study analyzes the relationship between chromatin condensation and field fertility, expressed as 90 days non-return rate (NRR), of bulls actively used by AI studs. Frozen-thawed semen from five bulls (six ejaculates per bull, three straws per ejaculate), that showed a non-return rate between 60 and 80%, were analyzed to assess sperm chromatin condensation and stability. The chromatin condensation was determined by flow cytometry using propidium iodide as fluorochrome, and the chromatin stability was evaluated by inducing its decondensation with SDS and EDTA.

The use of deep-frozen boar semen for artificial insemination (AI) is constrained by the need for high sperm numbers per dose, yielding few doses per ejaculate. With the advancement of new, intra-uterine insemination strategies, there is an opportunity for freezing small volumes containing high sperm numbers, provided the spermatozoa properly sustain cryopreservation. The present study aimed to concentrate (2 x 10(9) spz/mL) and freeze boar spermatozoa packed in a 0.
