GOAT SEMEN FREEZING:
THE TWO FACES OF THE COIN
Keywords:
Cryopreservation, sperm, fertility, injury, animal productionAbstract
Although the niche market for goat breeding products is on the rise, this activity is still carried out in family and disorganized systems. Thus, technification of this sector is necessary, including the introduction of reproduction biotechnology, such as semen cryopreservation and artificial insemination (AI). Semen freezing enables the breeder to improve the genetic quality of their herds at a lower cost, increasing the male potential without limit of time or space, and facilitating breeding management when in association with AI. As a consequence, the productivity and profitability of this sector is elevated, which could favor the transition from a livestock subsistence system to an industrial one. Nevertheless, the use of frozen semen of goats still presents some limitations, since the extender and procedures used for this biotechnology subject the gametes to numerous structural and functional injuries, both lethal and sublethal. These factors are reflected in the fertility rates, which are reduced after AI with frozen goat semen. In this perspective, the objective of the current review work is to report the positive and negative aspects of semen freezing biotechnology, with emphasis on the goat species.
