A comparison of in vitro fertilization potential of sperm obtained from refrigerated (4°C) epididymis and fresh ejaculation of buck under different embryo culture media by DHARMENDRA KUMAR, SALIL KUMAR JAIN, BIKASH CHANDRA SARKHEL

“…Among the culture media, RVCL-BLAST media was significantly efficient than mSOF in terms of cleavage and blastocysts, irrespective of gametes sources. Despite of lower outcome of blastocyst, cold stored epididymal sperm may be considered as an alternative, potent and viable source of gametes for assisted reproduction in case of endangered or other livestock, if immediate facilities for sperm processing are not available. …”
