Equex STM paste, a water-soluble detergent, exerts the protective effect of egg-yolk during sperm cryopreservation. This study aims to evaluate the post-thaw quality of rhesus monkeys' epididymal spermatozoa in the Tris-citric-glucose egg-yolk extender, supplemented with or without Equex STM paste (0.5%, v/v) (n = 6). Sperm motility, progressive motility, motion characteristics, viability, acrosome integrity and mitochondrial activity were compared immediately post-thaw. Equex STM paste supplementation significantly improved sperm motility (35.0 ± 4.5 vs. 23.7 ± 5.0%), progressive motility (15.4 ± 2.1 vs. 9.8 ± 2.7%) and percentage of sperm with intact acrosome (30.4 ± 4.5 vs. 26.3 ± 4.6%) compared to the controls, respectively. This is the first report applying Equex STM paste for monkey epididymal sperm cryopreservation and is expected to be beneficial as a model for endangered non-human primates.

We evaluated the effects of detergents based on sodium dodecyl sulfoxide (SDS) on the functional parameters of collared peccary frozen-thawed sperm. Semen aliquots from ten individuals were diluted in a Tris-egg yolk-glycerol extender alone or with 0.5% Equex STM paste or SDS (at 0.

Natural honey has been successfully used in the preservation of mammalian gametes because of its beneficial properties. The objectives of this study were to determine the inclusion level of honey in extender for improving boar semen quality before freezing and to investigate the effects of honey inclusion in extender and freezing media on post-thaw quality of frozen-thawed boar semen samples. Ejaculates from six terminally crossbred boars were collected using the gloved-hand technique for two experiments.

We compared the results of using egg yolk plasma (EYP) instead of egg yolk (EY) in a TRIS-based Equex STM Paste freezing extender system for dog semen [25]. We also tested whether the addition of lecithin and catalase to the EYP extenders would improve results. Fractionated semen collection was done in 17 stud dogs and the sperm rich fraction diluted with different extenders in 2 steps: (I) TRIS-fructose-citric acid extender (TRIS) containing 20% egg yolk (EY) and 3% glycerol [25], (II) TRIS containing 20% egg yolk plasma (EYP) and 3% glycerol, and (III) TRIS containing 20% EYP and 0.

The effect of Equex STM paste supplementation on the Tris-extender for collared peccaries' semen cryopreservation was assessed. Semen from 12 mature individuals was obtained by electroejaculation and evaluated for morphology, membrane integrity, osmotic response, and sperm kinetic metrics. Samples were diluted in Tris plus 20% egg yolk and divided into three aliquots.
