          Abstract

          Se evaluó la ganancia diaria de peso (GDP), calidad seminal, libido y capacidad de servicio en carneros de pelo, bajo pastoreo y suplementados con raciones conteniendo un 3 % de aceite de palma (AP) o grasa animal (GA). Se utilizaron ocho corderos Black Belly x Kathadin y Pelibuey x Kathadin. A los animales se les suministró durante los primeros 60 días, 300 g por cabeza de una ración con 3 % de GA, cantidad que se elevó a 500 g desde los 60 a los 120 días. En el grupo experimental GA se sustituyó por la misma proporción de aceite de palma. Cada 14 días se evaluó el peso vivo (PV), GDP, condición corporal (CC), circunferencia escrotal (CE), perímetro torácico (PT), altura a la cruz (AC) y largo de la cruz a la grupa (LCG). La calidad seminal se evaluó a partir de los 6 meses de edad con un peso promedio de 26,0 kg. Durante siete semanas, se evaluó el volumen, concentración, motilidad masal e individual, % de anormalidades primarias y % de espermatozoides vivos. La libido y capacidad de monta se valoró con hembras estrogenizadas registrando el número de montas (NM), el número de servicios (NS), el número de montas por servicio (NMS), tiempo de reacción (TR) a las sucesivas montas (1M, 2M, 3M) y servicios (1S, 2S y 3S). Las variables se analizaron mediante un ANOVA. No se registraron diferencias entre AP y GA para las variables PV, GDP, PT, CC, AC y LCG. La calidad seminal, libido y capacidad de servicio fueron similares en ambos tratamientos. El número de servicios y el tiempo de reacción a la monta o al servicio fueron similares en ambos tratamientos sin embargo se observaron diferencias en el número de montas lo que se reflejó en el número de montas por servicio. El aceite de palma es una alternativa energética para la alimentación de carneros en el trópico que no afecta al crecimiento, calidad seminal y libido.

          The average daily gain (GDP), semen quality, libido, and serviceability in 8 hair rams (Black Belly x Kathadin and Pelibuey x Kathadin) supplemented with rations containing a 3 % of palm oil (AP) or animal fat (GA) were studied during 120 days. During the first 60 days, lambs were fed with 300 g/animal/d of a diet with 3 % of animal fat and, the following 60 days, each lamb received 500 g of feed. In the experimental group GA was replaced by AP. The average daily weight gain (GDP), body condition score (CC), scrotal circumference (CE), thoracic perimeter (PT), height at withers (AC) and length from the withers to the rump (LCG) were evaluated. The seminal quality was evaluated from 6 months of age and average weight of 26.0 kg. During seven weeks, the volume, concentration, mass motility, individual primary abnormalities and living sperm percentage were assessed. To evaluate the libido and capacity of mating, the males were placed for 15 minutes with estrogenized females; number of mounts (NM), number of services (NS), number of mounts by service (NMS), reaction time (TR) to matings (1M, 2M, 3M) and services (1S, 2S, 3S), were recorded. The variables were analyzed by ANOVA. There were no differences among AP and GA for the evaluated variables for PV, GDP, PT, CC, AC, and LCG. Semen quality, libido and serving capacity were similar. The number of services and reaction times for mount and service were also similar for both treatments, however diferents were observed in the number of mounts and so in number of mounts by service. The AP is an energetic alternative that can be considered in the feeding of rams in the tropics without affecting growth, the seminal quality and libido.

              Effects of dietary supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants on biochemical characteristics of boar semen.

              The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of providing a supplement containing polyunsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants (PROSPERM) on the biochemical characteristics of boar semen. Two sexually mature boars were fed a standard diet with PROSPERM (250 g daily) for a 24-week period. Ejaculates collected prior to supplementation were used as the control. Semen quality and biochemical parameters were analyzed. The dietary supplementation enhanced sperm characteristics, including the percentage of spermatozoa with intact plasma membrane and osmotic resistance of the acrosomal membrane. Higher production of malondialdehyde was concurrent with increased activity of superoxide dismutase in the seminal plasma and spermatozoa after 8 weeks of supplementation. These changes were accompanied by a high content of total protein and low-molecular antioxidants of the seminal plasma. It was observed that PROSPERM supplementation enhanced the survivability of boar spermatozoa during storage in a standard semen extender supplemented with lipoprotein fractions, isolated from hen egg yolk or ostrich egg yolk, at 5 degrees C and 16 degrees C. These results indicate that PROSPERM supplementation of boars had a beneficial effect on the biological characteristics of the spermatozoa, which could be useful for semen preservation at different temperatures.
