Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the viability and membrane integrity of spotted buffalo epididiymal sperm. Andromed was used as control extender and the combination of Andromed with 0.2% (P1) and 0.4 % (P2) maltose were used for the treatments. The results showed that the percentage of motility after thawing in P1 media (46.00  2.00 %) was not significantly different (P>0.05) from P2 (44.00  2.00 %), but there was significantly different (P<0.05) from K (41.00  2.00 %). The percentage of live sperm after thawing in P1 (59.20  1.17 %) was not significantly different (P>0.05) from P2 (60.60  1.62 %), but significantly different (P<0.05) from K (52.20  2.48 %). There was no significantly different (P>0.05) in the percentage of membrane integrity of spotted buffalo epididymal sperm at the three stages of cryopreservation process in the three different extenders. In conclusion, the addition of maltose into Andromed could maintain the viability and membrane integrity of spotted buffalo epididymal sperm after thawing.
