Gelatine supplementation in semen extenders improves sperm quality

A team of Thai researchers focused on finding an effective method to prolong the semen cold storage time and to increase sperm fertility potential. A long-term extender extends the lifetime of boar semen by acting as an energy source for sperm metabolism, facilitating pH buffering for sperm cell waste and providing ions for membrane and cell balance. Its limited ability to function as a storage medium without reducing the fertilising capacity of semen is a concern which affects the survival of
