RESUMO

Cryopreservation of semen is an important technique to preserve genetic material. Yet, pregnancy rates in jennies after artificial insemination with frozen-thawed donkey semen are poor. This condition has been attributed to the impact of permeable cryoprotectants, that could cause high post-breeding endometritis. Removal of seminal plasma (SP) prior to semen freezing process is another contributing factor. SP is involved in a multitude of sperm functions and events preceding fertilization and has a mediating effect of sperm capacitation and postcoital uterine inflammatory response. The aim of this study was to evaluate different alternatives in donkey semen cryopreservation with permeable, non-permeable cryoprotectants, BSA and SP. Thirty ejaculates from 10 donkeys were cryopreserved with different combinations of dimethylformamide (DMF, 5%), sucrose (SUC, 200 mM) and homologous SP (10%): DMF (T1), DMF/SP (T2), SUC/BSA (T3), SUC/BSA/SP (T4), DMF/SUC/BSA (T5), DMF/SUC/BSA/SP (T6), DMF/BSA (T7) and DMF/BSA/SP (T8). After thawing, sperm motility and kinetics were assessed by computerized semen analysis. Sperm vitality (SV) was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy, functional membrane integrity (FMI) by the HOST test, abnormal morphology by eosin-nigrosin staining and sperm membrane stability by flow cytometry. For statistical analysis, sperm quality indexes (SQi) were obtained, general linear models were carried out and mean comparisons were made by the Tukey test. T1, T2, T5, T6, and T7 had higher and equivalent results for motility, most kinetic parameters and function membrane integrity. Cryopreservation of donkey semen without permeable cryoprotectant (T3 and T4) showed a reduction in motility, kinetics, SV, FMI and SQi. T5 showed a reduction in progressive motility, sperm velocities, IMF and SQi compared to other DMF treatments. T6 and T8 achieved higher SQi values compared to T1, but they were not different compared to T2 and T7. T1 had a smaller sperm population with low-M540 compared to T3. It is concluded that the use of permeable cryoprotectant is essential to achieve higher post-thaw quality of donkey semen. In addition, the combined use of BSA, SUC and/or PS may provide additional sperm protection compared to the individual use of DMF.
