Abstract

The sperm-bearing fractions of 163 ejaculates collected from 6 Beagles aged two years were used to test the cryoprotective effect of DMSO and glycerol in deep freezing investigations. It could be shown that the cryoprotective capacity of glycerol was better than the one of DMSO. Glycerol should rather be added to the sperms at + 5 degrees C than at + 25 degrees C. The best preservation results were achieved by a combined addition of DMSO and glycerol under the following conditions: time of cooling down to +5 degrees C of the extended sperm fractions 50 minutes, final concentration of DMSO 1% (max.), final concentration of glycerol 8% (max.), glycerol equilibration time 30 minutes.
