Abstract
The significantly higher percentages of post-thawing sperm total and progressive sperm motilities, membrane integrity, viability were observed in 1% soybean lecithin and 20% egg yolk plasma in comparison with 0.5 and 1% soybean lecithin, 10% egg yolk plasma and control, except for 15% egg yolk plasma (Pâ¯<â¯0.05). Using 20% egg yolk plasma in the extender improved mitochondrial activity. Supplementation of 1% soybean lecithin and 20% egg yolk plasma into the extender resulted in the least percentages of dead sperm (Pâ¯<â¯0.05). Sperm abnormalities and early apoptosis did not differ in various extender supplementations. In experiment 2, higher percentages of hatchability and fertility rate were observed in semen containing 1% soybean lecithin and 20% egg yolk plasma compared with the WEY group. The results showed that supplementation of the rooster sperm extender with 1% soybean lecithin and 20% egg yolk plasma resulted in higher quality of frozen-thawed sperm.
