Fertilizing ability and survivability of rooster sperm diluted with a novel semen extender supplemented with serine for practical use on smallholder farms.

ABSTRACT: Semen extenders are essential for maintaining the quality of sperm during storage and assuring the success of fertility after insemination. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of a new rooster semen extender (hereinafter, NCAB) supplemented with serine on the survivability and fertilizing ability of sperm following storage. NaCl solution, the NCAB extender, and IGGKPh extender were used as treatments. In Experiment 1, different storage temperatures (5°C and 25°C) and durations of storage (0, 12, and 24 h) were used to compare the semen quality and determine the suitable storage temperature. The fertility test was performed in in-station tests and on-farm experimental trials in Experiments 2 and 3, respectively. The results indicated that the interaction effect of duration
