| مستخلص: | The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the thawing procedure on deer semen freezability. Frozen semen from the Genetic Resource Bank (GRB) of the Zoological Park of Buenos Aires (Argentina) was used. Seven mature stags (two red deer, two Père David’s deer and three fallow deer) were used as semen donors. Semen was diluted with a TRIS-egg yolk medium, packed in 0.25 ml straws and frozen in nitrogen vapour. For thawing, the frozen straws were subjected to the following procedures: (I) 70 °C, 5 s; (II) 50 °C, 8 s and (III) 37 °C, 10 s. Freeze-thaw motility percentage (FMP) and spermatozoa rating (FMR) were determined subjectively. Viability and acrosome integrity (NAR) were also assessed and the hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) was used to assess membrane integrity. Freeze-thaw motility percentage, FMR and NAR were assessed after an incubation of 1 h in citrate-yolk at 42 °C, and FMP and FMR after 2 h of incubation under the same conditions. The thawing procedure did not have an effect on the seminal characteristics evaluated immediately after this process. However, differences in FMP after 2 h of incubation (P<0.05) were found between the procedures, with the best overall recovery rates after freezing and thawing found with the use of protocols II (intermediate thawing) and III (slow thawing). Therefore, thawing protocols II and III, those that provide intermediate and slow thawing rates, were the most beneficial for semen thawing of the different cervid species analysed in this study. |
