![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Effect of different number of frozen spermatozoa inseminated on the reproductive performance of rabbit does Effect of different number of frozen spermatozoa inseminated on the reproductive performance of rabbit does](/preview/png/2096708.png)
The relationship between the number of frozen spermatozoa inseminated and fertility rate and litter size at birth in rabbit does was investigated. Six hundred artificial inseminations (AI) were performed on multiparous lactating does with three spermatozoa concentrations: 10, 25, 50 × 106 spermatozoa/AI. All the does were synchronized with 20 UI of eCG 2 days before AI. The estimated sexual receptivity was 87%. The freezing–thawing procedure strongly reduced kinetic and functional traits (acrosome integrity, capacitation) of the spermatozoa. The number of spermatozoa inseminated did not affect the reproductive performance: the mean fertility rate and litter size values were 51.5% and 7.6%, respectively. Sexually receptive does (n = 522) inseminated with frozen spermatozoa showed a 58.0% fertility rate whereas, non-receptive does (n = 78), had a very poor fertility rate (7.8%).
