The aim of this study was to determine the optimal concentration of curcumin needed for cryopreservation of boar semen. Semen samples (n=9) were collected from nine Duroc boars which having proven fertility were used for routine artificial insemination. Semen samples were collected and divided into six groups (groups A-F) according to various concentrations of curcumin in freezing extender (i.e. 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0mmol/L, respectively). The semen was frozen by traditional liquid nitrogen vapor method and stored at -196 degrees C in the liquid nitrogen tank. After storage, frozen semen samples were thawed at 50 degrees C for 12s and evaluated for progressive motility, viability and acrosome integrity. The present results indicated that the addition of curcumin at 0.25 (group C) or 0.50mmol/L curcumin (group D) yielded the higher percentage of progressive motility (33.3 and 36.1%, respectively) (P
