The use of chilled-stored stallion semen is limited by its relatively short-term fertilizing capacity. An important reason for the decrease in fertility during storage is the peroxidation of sperm membrane lipids. In this study, effects of the antioxidants ascorbic acid (0.45 and 0.9 g/L) and catalase (0.45 x 10(6) and 1.8 x 10(6) units/L) on chilled-stored stallion semen were investigated. Semen was collected by artificial vagina from 7 stallions and was diluted with skim mill: extender or glycin extender. Sperm motility and membrane integrity were investigated after dilution and after 24, 48 and 72 h at 5 degrees C. Ascorbic acid significantly increased the percentage of membrane-intact spermatozoa at 24, 48 and 72 h at 5 degrees C when compared with that of the controls (P
