Abstract
This study examined the effects of ergothioneine (EGT) supplementation as an antioxidant on the quality of boar spermatozoa when using liquid and frozen preservation methods. In the first experiment, boar semen was preserved in an extender supplemented with 0, 50, 100 and 200 µM EGT, at 15 °C, part of the samples for one and another part for three weeks. In comparison with the control (without EGT), EGT supplementation at 100 µM significantly increased the percentage of total motility of spermatozoa that were preserved as a liquid both for one and three weeks (P < 0.05). EGT supplementation did not affect the quality of preserved spermatozoa, irrespective of the EGT concentration. In the second experiment, semen was frozen and thawed in the freezing extender supplemented with 0, 50, 100 and 200 µM EGT. In comparison with the control, the 100 µM EGT supplementation significantly increased the percentages of total and progressive motility of frozen-thawed spermatozoa (P < 0.05). EGT (100 µM) supplementation did not affect the viability, the plasma membrane integrity, or the acrosomal integrity of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. These findings indicate that supplementing extenders with 100 µM EGT may improve the motility of boar sperm in both liquid and freezing preservation methods.
