Resumo

This investigation aimed to evaluate the quality of cryopreserved semen from 21 Curraleiro/Pé Duro bulls in germplasm bank, categorizing the doses of the sires according to spermatic parameters that search the oocitary fertilization, and verifying in vitro the fecundant potential of the seminal dose. All the samples were thawed and analyzed by the spermatic exams of morphology, kinetics, integrity of plasmatic membrane and integrity of acrosome; however, only four of them also were evaluated through the fertilization rates, due to the major number of stocked straws, which allowed to test more than one in vitro essay. Approximately 200 spermatozoids were counted for each exam, the results were expressed in percentages and submitted to simple descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation), using as comparative reference, the patterns suggested by the Brazilian Animal Reproduction College for bovine thawed semen, as well as values obtained in other investigations. The results of the four spermatic exams were verified, and were searched the most important parameters that aim the fertility, being in the morphology the rate of normal spermatozoids (NRM) and major defects (DMA); in the kinetics, the progressive motility (MP) and rapid cells (RPD); in the integrity of plasmatic membrane, the whole plasmatic membrane (MPI); and in the integrity of acrosome, the live spermatozoid with whole acrosome (EVAI). From the 21 analyzed doses, ten presented adverse values in the mentioned spermatic parameters, and of these samples, seven showed divergences, because they had negative results for fertilization in some exams and favorable results in others, revealing the complex nature of the spermatozoid. Were taken into account for Pearson correlations, Cluster analysis and a dendrogram elaboration, the parameters NRM, DMA, MP, RPD, MPI and EVAI. The Cluster created by spermatic similarity three groups (G1, G2 e G3), for morphology, kinetics, integrity of plasmatic membrane and integrity of acrosome. The results were evaluated through simple descriptive statistics, and the difference of means by Duncan and Kruskal Wallis tests, at 5% significance level. It is worth mentioning that in the dendrogram the DT10 and DT19 were discriminated from the groups for having very distant values from the rest of seminal doses. In fecundation rates evaluation, three replicates were made with the straws of the four chosen bulls, passing previously through Percoll gradient (45:90%), for eliminating the defective cells and improving the fertilizing capacity. This selection allowed favorable results, with rates of fertilized oocytes superior to 60%. In the evaluation of masculine chromatin 18 hours post in vitro insemination high Pronucleus rates were observed. The statistical difference of these values was estimated by Chi-square test. The results revealed the spermatic quality and in vitro fecundant capacity of Curraleiro/Pé Duro analyzed semen, enabling to delineate appropriate strategies, for the conservation of this local genetic resource in extinction, owner of unique characteristics of adaptation and rusticity, that could be included hereafter in the brazilian cattle herds.
