Effect of royal jelly on bovine sperm characteristics during post–thaw incubation in vitro

Cryopreserved bovine semen is generally considered to have lower fertility compared to fresh semen. The reduction arises from both a lower post–thaw viability and a possible sublethal dysfunction of the surviving sperm population. The present study was conducted to observe the effect of royal jelly...

The reduction arises from both a lower post–thaw viability and a possible sublethal dysfunction of the surviving sperm population. The present study was conducted to observe the effect of royal jelly (RJ) on motility, viability and acrosome integrity of spermatozoa during post–thaw incubation. Frozen–thawed semen samples were washed and incubated at 37°C in Tris buffer containing 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5% RJ or none (control). Sperm motility, viability and acrosomal integrity were assessed at 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 h. The percentages of sperm motility, viability and intact acrosome were higher in Tris buffer containing 0.4% RJ compared to control (p < 0.05). After 2 h of incubation the percentages of motility, viability and intact acrosome of spermatozoa, respectively, were 52.3; 52.5 and 19.8% in 0.4% RJ containing buffer. Results indicate that the addition of 0.4% RJ in the incubation media was able to maintain better quality and longevity of spermatozoa. Royal jelly may be used as a semen extender to improve sperm quality and fertility. El semen bovino criopreservado generalmente es considerado de menor poder fertilizante comparado con el semen fresco. Tal reducción abarca tanto una más baja viabilidad post–descongelado como una posible disfunción subletal de la población de espermatozoides sobrevivientes. El presente estudio fue realizado para determinar el efecto de la jalea real (JR) sobre la motilidad, viabilidad e integridad acrosomal de espermatozoides durante la etapa de incubación post–descongelado. Las muestras de semen congelado–descongelado se lavaron e incubaron a 37°C en buffer Tris conteniendo JR en proporción de 0,1; 0,2; 0,3; 0,4; 0,5% o ninguna (control). La motilidad y la viabilidad espermáticas, así como la integridad acrosomal, fueron evaluadas a las 0; 0,5; 1; 1,5 y 2 h. Comparados con los controles, los porcentajes de motilidad, viabilidad e integridad acrosomal fueron más altos en los espermatozoides incubados en Tris conteniendo 0,4% de JR (p < 0,05). Después de 2 h de incubación, los porcentajes de motilidad, viabilidad e integridad acrosomal de los espermatozoides fueron respectivamente de 52,3; 52,5 y 19,8% en el buffer que contenía JR al 0,4%. Los resultados indican que la adición de 0,4% de JR en los medios de incubación fue capaz de mantener la buena calidad y longevidad de los espermatozoides. La jalea real puede ser usada como aditivo seminal para mejorar la viabilidad y fertilidad de los espermatozoides.
