Effect of storage for 24 h at 18°C on sperm quality and a comparison of two assays for sperm membrane lipid peroxidation

Boars having normal (71.1 ± 1.2%; n = 10) or low (35.12 ± 3.9%; n = 10) sperm motility 24 h after collection were used, and semen was evaluated following storage in Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS) for 24 h at 18°C. Sperm lipids were extracted and lipid peroxidation quantified.
