Abstract
Sperm freezing is one of the reproductive technologies responsible for
increasing domestic animals' fertility and preserving wild animal fertility over the last
100 years. This chapter will shed light on the current understanding of the effect of
cryopreservation on sperm cells, advances in cryopreservation in terms of
cryoprotectants and freezing protocols for bovines, caprines, ovines, equines, and
camelids. Moreover, this chapter will shed light on other technologies needed to be
adopted for different animal species.
Keywords: Cryopreservation, Cryoprotectants, Fertility, Sperm.
