Abstract
The objective of this research was to value the effect of the addition of vitamins C, E and the combination C+E in diluted fresh boar semen on motility and acrosome integrity (NAR). Were used ejaculated coming from a boar of the race Pietrain with two year-old age three months, with weight of 350 kg. were carried out three experiments. The first with vitamin C, the second with vitamin E and the third with vitamin C+E; with concentration of 5 mg mL 1 of diluter of each vitamin for each experiment; a witness, only with diluted semen, were conserved at 18°C in a period of seven days, every other day the motility and acrosome integrity were evaluated. They were carried out 3 repetitions for experiment and the obtained results went for spermatic motility to the seven days of conservation, tha treatment with the vitamin E (46.6%), with vitamin C (0%) and with vitamins C+E (1.08), comparison with the witness (64.1%). For NAR, the following results were had, with Vitamin E (62%), with vitamin C (57.6%) and with vitamins C+E (60.6%), in comparison with the witness (70.8%). When carrying out the variance analysis, they were differences statistically significant (p< 0.05) among the treatment with vitamin C and C+E on the motility and NAR in comparison with the witness. In conclusion, the effect that was obtained on the motility and NAR, when vitamins C and C+E were used to a concentration of 5 mg mL 1 of diluter, it requires of more investigation in the area of the conservation of the hog semen in fresh, using vitamins E, C and their combination, vitamins E+C.
