| Summary: | The investigation was performed to evaluate the dog semen freezability and itsquality after thawing allowing its use for artificial insemination (AI). On the basis ofsperm motility, concentration and alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity in semenplasma it was possible to establish that AP activity corresponds with the basic factorof semen examination. Significant statistical differences occurred between thequality of ejaculates which were qualified or disqualified to deep freezing and AI.These results show that AP activity in raw dog semen plasma can be used as amarker for the dog semen qualification for deep freezing and AI with 95%probability of the prognosis of the results. |
