Sperm vitrification is a novel-assisted reproductive technique that is increasingly gaining relevance in the last years. This technique allows to cryopreserve sperm from valuable stallions and donkeys without the exposure to permeable cryoprotectants, particularly toxic for the gametes of these species.

摘要

Sperm vitrification is a novel-assisted reproductive technique that is increasingly gaining relevance in the last years. This technique allows to cryopreserve sperm from valuable stallions and donkeys without the exposure to permeable cryoprotectants, particularly toxic for the gametes of these species. This chapter aims to describe the current range of methodologies available that are key to ensure sperm quality after vitrification and warming of stallion and donkey sperm.
