Author: Fawad Ur Rehman, Chunquo Zhao, Muhammad Ali Shah, Muhammad Subhan Qureshi, Xuemei Wang
Highlights
Artificial insemination is one of the important tools for genetic improvement in modern dairy breeding practices and it is only possible with efficient extender. Extender has a vital role in the preservation of sperm cell and its quality parameters such as viability, motility, acrosome and membrane integrity etc. Semen extenders contain buffering system to maintain pH of the medium (Tris, Sodium Phosphate, Citric acid), cryoshock preservatives (Glycerin, Egg yolk, Soy-lecithin, Milk), provide energy (Fructose) and guarantee the microbial free environment i.e. antibiotics (Streptomycin, Penicillin, Polymixin B). Here, in this review we will focus on the effects of different extender ingredients used for dilution of semen in ruminants to achieve Artificial insemination (AI).
