Influence of polysaccharides from Hericium Erinaceus BP16 on the cryostability of bull sperm

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Cryopreservation of genetic material of highly productive cattle breeds has been relevant for several decades. The main goal of the experiments is to develop crypreservatives that will preserve sperm in a functionally active state. For this purpose, various antioxidants and sugars are added to cryoprotectors. The purpose of this work was to study the effect of polysaccharide fractions from H. erinaceus on the cryostability of bull sperm. Solutions containing polysaccharide fractions of H. erinaceus retain a higher level of motility indicators than the control solution. The studies on polysaccharides and their role in preserving the reproductive function of cells need to be continued including preservation for longer periods.
