The cryoprotective effect of Guar gum co-supplemented with ethylene glycol and glycerol in Simmental bull semen

In conclusion, adding guar gum to the bull sperm diluent either alone or combined with glycerol or ethylene glycol ameliorated sperm viability and kinematic parameters and antioxidant capacity while reducing DNA damage and apoptotic-like changes. Guar gum also has improved embryo development. Due to its cost-effectiveness and physicochemical properties, guar gum is a promising supplement for bull sperm cryopreservation.PMID:37956627 | DOI:10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107362
