Abstract

Aimed to evaluate the effect of dimethylformamide associated or not with glycerol in diluent of goat semen before cryopreservation on longevity and functionality of the plasma membrane. Ejaculated four goats were collected and subjected to the following treatments: Control; 2% of dimethylformamide (DMF2); 3% of DMF (DMF3); 4% of DMF (DMF4); 5% of DMF (DMF5); and 2% of DMF plus 2% of glycerol (DMF2G). After cooling to 5 °C/2h,
packed and placed under nitrogen vapor for 7 min, then immersed in liquid nitrogen and soon after, thawed at 37 °C/30 seconds. Samples were analyzed for longevity and hyposmotic test. The variables were evaluated with ANOVA and Tukey's test (P <0.05). Sperm motility was higher over the 120 min of TTR in the samples treated with DMF2, when
compared to the other concentrations (P <0.05). It was observed that spermatozoa treated with DMF2, presented higher percentage of cells with conservation in the functionality of the plasma membrane when compared to the other treatments (P <0.05). Thus, the use of 2% dimethylformamide in diluent of semen goat before cryopreservation it provides beneficial effects to spermatozoa after thawing, it is indicated as substitute of glycerol in cryopreservation of spermatozoa goats.
