Abstract EN
Single-Layer centrifugation has been used to improve the quality of sperm samples in several species.
However, where stallion or boar semen is to be used for AI, larger volumes of semen have to be processed than for other species, thus limiting the effectiveness of the original technique.
The objective of the present study was to scale up the SLC method for both stallion and boar semen.
Stallion semen could be processed in 100 mL glass tubes without a loss of sperm quality, and similarly, boar semen could be processed in 200 mL and 500 mL tubes without losing sperm quality.
The results of these preliminary studies are encouraging, and larger trials are underway to evaluate using these methods in the field.
