        The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of BHT supplementation on sperm motility, viability, acrosomal integrity and plasma membrane integrity after frozen-thawing. One ejaculate was collected from one fertile Hanwoo bull by using artificial vagina at Hanwoo Research Institute. The ejaculate was transferred to laboratory immediately and diluted with pre-warmed semen extender (Optixcell, France) (1:1). Sperm dilutions were extended to a final concentration of 40 x 106 sperm/ml, and divided into 5 groups according to BHT concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mM) and cryopreserved in LN2 tank until evaluation. Frozen-thawed semen was transferred to 1.5 ml tube and incubated for 0, 2 and 4h. Sperm motility and motility parameters (total motility, VSL with 25μm≥, VCL, VSL, VAP, LIN, STR, WOB, ALH and BCF) were evaluated by sperm class analysis (SCA, IVOS, Spain). There were not significant effects of BHT supplementation (0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM) on total motile and VSL with 25μm≥ at 0, 2 and 4h. However, 4.0 mM of BHT supplementation showed negative effect on total motile (26.3%), VSL with 25μm≥ (1.3%) at 0 h (p<0.001). The viability and acrosomal integrity of spermatozoa were evaluated by Trypanblue/Giemsa staining method and divided into 4 groups; live and intact acrosome (LIA), live and damaged acrosome (LDA), dead intact acrosome integrity (DIA), dead damaged acrosome (DDA). There were no significant differences of LIA, LDA, DIA and DDA on various BHT concentrations at 0 and 2 h. However, 4.0 mM BHT supplementation showed decreased LIA compared with 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM BHT at 4 h (34.6, 37.1, 43.6, 45.4 and 14.7% vs. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mM, irrespectively; p<0.01). Addition of 4.0 mM of BHT showed negative effect on plasma membrane integrity compared with that of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 BHT at 2 h (71.9, 64.2, 64.6, 67.5 and 31.7 % vs. 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 4.0 mM, irrespectively; p<0.05). In conclusion, various BHT concentrations on optixcell extender showed no improvement on sperm motility, viability and plasma membrane integrity.
