Osmotic tolerance of goat semen and freezing in medium without glycerol

By Sandra Cristina Becker-Silva

In this book, Dr. Sandra Cristina Becker-Silva presents a revolutionary investigation into the cryopreservation of goat semen, the fruit of her academic research. The author explores the limits of sperm tolerance to hyperosmotic sucrose solutions and their survival after cryopreservation, challenging conventional methods.Through meticulous experiments, Becker-Silva develops innovative freezing protocols. The research reveals that partial dehydration with concentrated sucrose or trehalose solutions allows goat semen to be frozen without permeating cryoprotectants, a significant advance in the field.This book is essential for professionals and students of goat reproductive biotechnology. It offers a practical and scientific approach, contributing to genetic improvement and the conservation of goat genetic resources.Discover how science is revolutionizing goat reproduction and transforming modern goat farming.
