12Effect of Cryopreservation onSperm Quality and FertilityAlemayehu LemmaAddis Ababa University, School of <strong>Vet</strong>erinary Medicine, Debre Zeit,Ethiopia1. IntroductionGeographical barriers to breeding animals have long been reduced because of possibilitiesof semen transportation. In modern cattle breeding, where artificial insemination (AI) is themost widely applied tool facilitating extensive utilization of frozen semen from geneticallysuperior sires, cryopreservation has been an invaluable technique. In order to extend thetime span of the viability of spermatozoa, their metabolic rate has to be slowed downthereby reducing the rate at which substrates are used and toxins are produced. As a generalrule cooling of spermatozoa is the simplest method that can successfully depressspermatozoal metabolic rate and therefore, prolong sperm survival. The use of carbondioxide and other metabolic inhibitors like proteinase inhibitors are also known to producea similar but less successful effect (Colenbrander et al, 2003; Cremades et al, 2005; Curry et al,2000).Semen stored after cooling to 5-8°C will survive for 24-48 h without a significant decline inmotility and even up to 96 h without a significant drop in fertilization rates. Though chillingsemen provides an efficient and successful means of short-term storage, it has yet someadverse effects on the spermatozoa manifested as a depression in viability rate, structuralintegrity, depressed motility and conception rates (Batellier et al, 2001; Medeiros et al, 2002;Watson, 2000). Preferably, the spermatozoa of many species can now be stored indefinitelyat -196°C in liquid nitrogen for future use, while still retaining acceptable fertilization ratespostthaw. The techniques for successful cryopreservation of spermatozoa have also slowlyprogressed over the past several decades (Hammerstedt et al, 1990) and are now fairlystandardized. However, cryopreservation is also known to be detrimental to sperm functionand fertility even with the most up to date techniques. Generally, sperm viability isdecreased by 50%, whereas fertilizing capacity is affected by a factor of sevenfold aftercryopreservation (Lessard et al, 2000).The effects of cryopreservation on sperm function and fertility have been widely studied,particularly in bovine. Various sperm organelles have been known to be affected due to thedetrimental effects of cryopreservation. Induction of premature acrosomal reaction, alteredmitochondrial function, reduction of motility and failure of chromatin decondensation, all ofwhich influence the viability and fertility of the sperm cells have been reported by differentauthors (Chaveiro et al. 2006; Cooter et al, 2005; Watson, 2000; Wongtawan et al, 2006).Cooling is a major stressor, as a result of which membrane bound phospholipids reorientthemselves into a different configuration that disrupt membrane function and permeability
