Due to bacterial contamination, antibiotics are used in semen extenders to inhibit bacterial growth during storage. Thus, the present study aimed to determine the toxicity limit of different antibiotic concentrations of penicillin/streptomycin added to the semen extender and investigate the influence on sperm motility. For this purpose, semen from five commercial hybrid breeders was collected once a week for 9 weeks, using the gloved hand technique. Each ejaculate was distributed equally among all treatments, which consisted of different concentrations of antibiotic solution: T1 = 0.0g/L (control); T2 = 4.2g/L; T3 = 12.6g/L. The semen diluted in powdered coconut water (ACP-103@) was kept for 5 days and analyzed on the following days: D0 (collection day), D2, and D4 (last conservation day) for sperm vigor and motility. In D0, the semen preserved in the diluent added with 12.6 g of antibiotic solution showed a lower sperm vigor value compared to the other treatments (p<0.05). In D2 and D4, treatments containing antibiotics presented vigor results below those obtained in the control group (p<0.05). Regarding sperm motility, higher percentages of mobile cells were observed in semen samples conserved in ACP 0.0 g/L (control) when compared to the other treatments (p<0.05). It is concluded that the antibiotic concentrations used in the study (4.2 and 12.6 g/L) showed toxic effects soon after the swine semen, negatively affecting seminal parameters during storage at 17 °C.
