Abstract
Background and Objective : Green tea has potential antioxidant capacity and free radical-scavenging properties. The present study aimed to clarify the effect of the watery green tea extract in tris semen extender on cryopreservability. Materials and Methods: 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2% of green tea extract were added to the Tris citrate egg-yolk fructose (TCYF) diluent. Semen was added to the different concentration of diluents to obtain 60 ×106 motile sperm.ml-1. Cooling and equilibration at 5°C proceeded and ended with freezing in liquid nitrogen. Thawed semen was evaluated for total sperm motility, viability, abnormality, membrane integrity (HOS) and normal intact acrosome%. Results: concerning chilled diluted semen, high motile and alive sperms % were found on addition of 0.2 and 0.4% green tea extract to the tris-basic extender, while all treatments with green tea extract exerted low abnormal sperm%. On the other hand, 0.6 and 0.8 % green tea extract addition showed significant increase in the membrane integrity and acrosome integrity% compared to the control. Concerning the thawed diluted semen, the addition of 0.4, 0.6, 0.8% green tea extract had maintained the motility % as that of the control, increased live sperm%, lowered the abnormal sperm% and had no significant effect on membrane or acrosome integrities% compared to the control (P≤0.0001). Conclusion: green tea extract supplementation in concentration of 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8% to cattle bull extender protected sperm from the hazard effect of cryodamage and offer better protection for semen quality parameters.
