Effect of supplementing vitamin E analogues on post-thaw semen parameters and fertility in chicken

1. The effect of supplementing water-soluble vitamin E analogues 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (trolox) and butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) was studied in two separate experiments. 2. In the first experiment, trolox was supplemented at 0.2 mM, 0.4 mM and 0.8 mM concentratio...

Description
Summary:1. The effect of supplementing water-soluble vitamin E analogues 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchromane-2-carboxylic acid (trolox) and butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT) was studied in two separate experiments. 2. In the first experiment, trolox was supplemented at 0.2 mM, 0.4 mM and 0.8 mM concentrations along with N-methylacetamide (MA; 12% final concentration) and semen was cryopreserved in 0.5 ml French straws. Different semen parameters and fertility were assessed from post-thaw samples. 3. Sperm motility, live sperm, and mitochondrial activity were significantly lower (P
