Özet

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Fertile Plus and laser applications on spermatological parameters of ram semen following cryopreservation.

Material and Method: In the study, four rams were used, and the semen samples were divided into four groups, each consisting of four animals: Group 1: frozen-thawed control semen; Group 2: frozen-thawed semen exposed to laser treatment; Group 3: frozen-thawed semen processed through the Fertile Plus chip; and Group 4: frozen-thawed semen exposed to laser treatment and subsequently processed through the Fertile Plus chip.

Results: In this study, the effects of laser, microfluidic chip , and the laser+chip combination on spermatological parameters of ram semen were investigated. Data obtained from ten replicates demonstrated that laser and chip applications preserved plasma membrane integrity, reduced the rate of abnormal spermatozoa, and enhanced mitochondrial activity. The highest mitochondrial activity and the lowest plasma membrane damage were observed in the laser+chip group. No significant differences were detected among the groups in terms of DNA fragmantation. The findings indicate that the combination of laser and microfluidic chip can be an effective approach to improve the quality of ram semen.

Conclusion: Laser and microfluidic chip applications reduced plasma membrane damage, decreased abnormal spermatozoa rate, and increased mitochondrial activity. The best results were obtained in the laser+chip group. No significant differences were found among the groups in terms of DNA fragmantation.
