The aim of the present study was to analyze the effect of dialysis on the quality of frozen/thawed buck semen. Ejaculates (n = 15) from three Saanen bucks were divided into three experimental groups. Semen in Group Ce (centrifugation) was processed by standard method and washed two times at 1.085 × g for 20 min. During this time, the diluted control semen (Co) was stored at room temperature. Semen in Group D was dialyzed using 300 kDa cut-off semi-permeable cellulose tubing. The semen from all groups was diluted with extender containing 20% egg yolk and frozen in liquid nitrogen vapor. After thawing, semen samples were evaluated by microscopic and biochemical analyses. Phospholipase A2 was in amounts that was 72.0 ± 11.7% less after dialysis and 21.3 ± 10.0% less after washing with centrifugation compared to the control semen (P < 0.05). Spermatozoa from Group Co had a lesser motility and viability and greater percentage of morphological abnormal spermatozoa in comparison to Groups D and Ce at 3 h after thawing and incubation on 37 °C. At the same time motility and percentage of HOST positive spermatozoa were greater in Group Ce compared with D (P < 0.05). There, however, was no difference in morphology and viability (CFDA/PI analysis) of spermatozoa between Ce and D group. Results from the present study suggest the dialysis is the promising alternative method for reducing phospholipase A2 in the buck semen before cryopreservation.
