Preliminary report on a novel straw semen freezing method for ram spermatozoa

Abstract

A straw (0.25ml French) semen freezing method for ram spermatozoa using a temperartre controlled stainless steel plate is described to possibly replace the conventional static liquid nitrogen vapour freezing method.

'n Strooitjie (0.25ml Franse) semenvriesmetode vir ramspermatosoa deur gebruikmaking van 'n temperatuurbeheerde vlekvrye staalplaat word beskryf om moontlik die konvensionele statiese vloeibare stikstofdamp- vriesmetode te vervang.
