dc.description.abstractThe main objective of sperm production centers is to produce as many straws as possible from the obtained ejaculates using the optimal dilution rate. To this end, this study is the first to evaluate the effect of different semen extender rates on Anatolian buffalo semen quality. Ejaculates were collected by artificial vagina from three Anatolian buffalo bulls. These ejaculates were divided into three aliquots and filled into 0.25 ml straws with soy-based extenders at concentrations of 35, 25, and 15 million sperm/straw (n=105). The straw samples of different sperm concentrations were frozen. The quality of sperm was evaluated after thawing (37 degrees C, 30 sec) and following the thermoresistance test (37 degrees C, 3 h). The post-thaw total motility and progressive motility values were similar between the groups. However, following the thermoresistance test, there was a significant decrease in total motility in the 35 million sperm/straw group, and the progressive motility was significantly higher in the 25 million sperm/straw group. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of sperm kinetic parameters, except for VSL after thawing, as well as VAP and LIN values following the thermoresistance test. The overall mean PMAI and STR values were the highest in the 25 million sperm/straw group. In conclusion, it is recommended to dilute the Anatolian buffalo semen at a concentration of 25 million/0.25 ml when freezing it with a soy-based semen extender. In addition, it is considered that soy-based extenders compensate for cryo-damage to sperm motility for a short time, and the thermoresistance test should be applied for objective evaluation in dose optimization studies.
