Cryo-preservation of Boar goat spermatozoa and
variation in sperm kinematics between bucks was assessed by computer assisted
semen analysis (CASA). Cryo-preservation affected
sperm motility, progressive motility, path velocity, progressive
velocity, track speed, beat cross frequency, straightness and linearity. The
reduction in lateral amplitude of sperm head in post-thaw semen was also lower.
Significant differences were
noticed between bucks in post-thaw semen for path velocity and
progressive velocity. The variations found between bucks in post-thaw semen for
beat cross frequency and linearity were highly significant (P ≤ 0.01).
