Résumé

An experiment was conducted to evaluate Vitamin C levels on percentage sperm abnormalities of chilled bull semen in chicken and quail egg yolk extender at different storage periods. Semen was collected from three bulls between 2 – 3 years of age weekly with the aid of artificial vagina. Extenders were prepared from the egg yolk of chicken and quail and three inclusion levels of Vitamin C (0, 3 and 6mg/ml), respectively. Abnormal spermatozoa percentages were counted using a hand counter, and recorded as ratios. The results shows that the inclusion levels of Vitamin C on chicken and quail egg yolk extender had significant effect (P<0.05) on abnormal cells of bull spermatozoa on semen pH at 0, 24, 48 and 72 hours
respectively.
