Impact of equilibration on sperm quality in Malabari buck semen: A comparative study of different freezability levels
This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the sperm quality parameters across high and low freezability semen samples of Malabari bucks during post-extension and pre-freeze stages of cryopreservation.

| Summary: | This study aimed to investigate the alterations in the sperm quality parameters across high and low freezability semen samples of Malabari bucks during post-extension and pre-freeze stages of cryopreservation. A total of 32 semen ejaculates with at least 80 per cent initial progressive motility were selected, categorising four bucks as high freezability and four as low freezability based on post-thaw characteristics. Significant variation was found in progressive motility at the pre-freeze stage, with high freezability samples showing a markedly higher motility (68.25 1.02 ) compared to low freezability samples (58.50 1.0 ), indicating that motility is closely linked to freezability. Sperm viability was higher in the high freezability group post-extension (91.2 0.56 ) and pre-freeze (79.70 0.60 ) than in the low freezability group (91.00 0.79 and 78.85 1.09 , p |
