Extended Abstract
Introduction and Objective: In the present study, the effect of solanum melungena extract on the semen characteristics of Farahani ram under short-term storage preservation was investigated.
Material and Methods: Semen samples were collected by five rams. We assessed different four long-term liquid storage times after: 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h pre-freezing with levels of: control or without additives extract (control), 2, 4, 6 and 8 mg/ml SME in Tries-based extender at 5℃ before freezing.
Results: In this experiment our finding indicated that the interaction of SME and storage time was significant on sperm motility, membrane integrity, viability and progressive sperm motility (p<0.05). In the sperm membrane integrity, the concentration of 2% SME had the highest percentage (p<0.05) and the spermatozoa progressive motility was shown at a concentration of 2% SME higher than other groups. However, the addition of 2% SME had a better effect than other treatments (p<0.05).
Conclusion: In conclusion, in vitro addition eggplant peel extract to ram semen at chilled-stored conditions could be improved sperm parameters in during assessments.
