PurposeThe aim of the present study was to investigate the fertilizing capacity of fresh, frozen-thawed and freeze-dried canine spermatozoa.MethodsAfter canine spermatozoa were injected into mouse oocytes, the rates of oocyte activation, male pronuclear formation and chromosomal aberrations were investigated.ResultsThe rates of oocyte activation were comparable (90.6–100%), no matter the sperm type injected. The percentage of male pronuclear formation was higher (P< 0.001) in the freeze-dried spermatozoa (92.3%) than the fresh (61.5%) and frozen-thawed (69.2%) spermatozoa. However, the chromosomal damage in the oocytes injected with freeze-dried spermatozoa was higher (72.9%:P< 0.001) than with fresh (26.9%) and frozen-thawed (21.4%) spermatozoa.ConclusionsThese data indicate using mouse oocytes that freeze-dried canine spermatozoa may potentially fertilize canine oocytes although chromosomal damage is frequently generated.
