Recovering and cryopreserving epididymal spermatozoa are suitable methods for preserving the genetic potential of livestock and endangered species. Regarding encouraging reports on the use of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) in cryopreserving various cell types, we conducted this study to examine the impact of PVA on the post-thaw quality, longevity, and in vitro fertility of ram epididymal sperm. In the first experiment, ram epididymal spermatozoa were frozen in extenders containing 6 % glycerol and 0, 0.
