Abnormalities of Sperm
Swim in circles
Primary defects
Originate in testicles more serious
Secondary defects
Sperm passing through the tubules and ducts
Poor handling after collection
Large numbers of either type may result in
decreased fertility

Semen Processing
Semen-poor fraction and semen-rich fraction
separated
Semen-rich evaluated both macroscopically
and microscopically
Extending of semen
Storing of semen
Thawing of semen
![Page 20: Collecting and Handling Semen - Texas A&M Universityaevm.tamu.edu/files/2010/06/Collecting_Handling_Semen_1.pdf · Objectives Describe methods for semen collection List the steps](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020319/5ccf767c88c99375718c06b6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Semen Extending
Diluted for insemination or for storage
Extenders increase the number of females to be
bred with single ejaculate
Extenders provide energy source and protection
Extenders include egg yolk phosphates, egg yolk-
citrate, tris buffer, homogenized milk, or cream
and glycerol (if frozen for long term)
Sometimes antibiotics are included to prevent
contamination of sperm

Semen Storing
Cool slowly
Prevent cold shock
Preserve viability
Divided in 0.5 or 1.0 ml fractions in straws
20 million sperm cells per straw
Labeled and placed into canes in numbered canisters
in liquid nitrogen tank
Stored at -130º C prevents crystal formation
Cryostorage – liquid nitrogen
Semen straws
Stallion semen does not freeze well!
