Abstract:
Sperm cryopreservation is an effective method for the management and preservation of male fertility in domestic animals. Cryopreservation has been started since a long time and plays a crucial role in semen preservation. Sperm membrane has high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the changes occuring during the freezing process causes lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress. Additives are being used to reduce the stress and improve the semen quality. Our ultimate goal is to increase milk production and the number of calves in an animal's reproductive life. All the breedable females can be covered for insemination by increasing the production of semen and improving the quality. This article deals with different types of additives and studies on some important additives.
