Cryopreservation Sperm Epididymis of Iraqi Camels and Activation After thawing by Using Q10

Abstract

This study is conducted at the laboratory of post-graduate studies / department of Animal Production / College of Agriculture / University of Al –Muthanna for the period from 17/2 to 14/9/ 2016 to investigate the ability of cryopreservation of epididymal sperms for Iraqi camels and the effect of adding of Q10 thawing solution. The testes are collected from the abattoir directly after slaughtering of animals and transferred to the laboratory in proper temperature. The sperms are collected from the cauda of epididymis and immerged in smart medium previously prepared. The experiment was divided in to third treatments the first (control) , the second thawing solution with 5µM Q10 concentration , the three thawing solution with 10µM Q10 concentration .The results of the study show significant superiority )P≤0.05( for the third treatment 10µM Q10 over the first and second treatments in the individual motility, mass motility and agglutination,. The individual motility types A,B,C are 15.4286 ± 0.53 ، 15.4286 ± 0.70 ، 17.0952 ± 0.52 respectively ، significant superiority )P≤0.05( for first treatment over the second and third treatments The individual motility types(D) and agglutination are 60.1190 ± 1.18 ، 20.4762 ± 0.33 respectively .
