Abstract:

The experiment aimed to explore the effect of adding empagliflozin(Empa) to the cryopreserved diluent on the insemination of frozenthawed semen from Chengde hornless goats. Ninety healthy multiparous ewes aged 2 to 3 y were randomly divided into control group(n=45) and experimental group(n=45). The frozen semen from control group was thawed using self-prepared cryopreservation dilution solution, while that of experimental group was added with 0. 8 μmol/L Empa to the cryopreservation dilution solution. Laparoscopic insemination was performed on the ewes of the two groups respectively. The results showed that the sperm motility and motion parameters such as linear velocity(VSL), curvilinear velocity(VCL), mean path velocity(VAP), and linear(LIN) were significantly improved(P<0. 05) and the pregnancy rate and lambing rate were slightly higher(P>0. 05) in the experimental group than those in the control group. It suggested that the addition of Empa to the cryopreservation dilution solution for the frozen-thawed semen of Chengde hornless goat could effectively alleviate oxidative stress responses, improve sperm quality and the pregnancy rate of artificial insemination.
