본 연구는 염소 액상 정액의 활용에 적합한 희석액을 검토하여, 국내 염소 인공수정 실용화를 위한 기초 자료를 확보하기 위하여 실시되었다. 두 마리의 흑염소 수컷으로부터 전기 자극법으로 정액을 채취하였다. 채취된 정액은 BTS로 희석하여 500g에서 5분간 원심분리하여 정장을 제거하고, BTS, Modena, Triladyl로 희석하여 냉장고나 온장고에서 8일간 보관되었다. BTS와 Modena로 희석된 정자의 운동성은 하루 만에 소멸되었으며, BTS로
This study was to investigate the optimal short-term storage diluents for goat spermatozoa. Semen was collected with electro-ejaculation from two goats. The collected semen was diluted in BTS and centrifuged at 500 g for 5 minutes. The supernatant was discarded and diluted with BTS, Modena or Triladyl and stored at 4 or for 8 days. The motility of spermatozoa in BTS and Modena stored at was rapidly decreased at day 1. The motility of spermatozoa in BTS at was decreased to 3045% at day 2. In Modena at , the inappropriate motility fur artificial insemination (AI) was reached at day 4. The spermatozoa stored in Triladyl at 4 or were more viable and higher motility up to day 4. In conclusion, liquid storage of goat spermatozoa in Triladyl at 4 or for 4 days showed permissible viability for AI.
