Objective of this study was to compare cryosurvival of epididymal (EP) and electroejaculated (EE) sperm cryopreserved in liposome- or egg yolk- based extenders. Aliquots of EE sperm (n = 10 bulls) were cryopreserved with a liposome- (Optixcell; EEO) or egg yolk-based extender (Botubov; EEB). Bulls...

Equilibration is the one of the important steps of semen cryopreservation and it is the stage in which semen is cooled and phase changes occur. The condition of equilibration is mostly regarded; and success of the equilibration conditions depend on empirical experiences. The aim of this study was...
