چکیده

در این آزمایش به ­منظور مطالعه اثر تنش حرارتی بر کیفیت اسپرم گاوهای نژاد آبی بلژیکی از سه رأس گاو نر آبی بلژیکی که در شرایط یکسان مدیریتی و تغذیه قرار داشتند برای اسپرم ­گیری استفاده شد. برای شبیه ­سازی اثرات تنش حرارتی بیضه دو راس گاو نر با استفاده از کیسه نایلونی عایق ­سازی شد. پس از دو هفته در مجموع تعداد پنج انزال از گاوهای نر جمع ­آوری شده و پس از ارزیابی ­های اولیه، منجمد شدند. پس از یخ­ گشایی، فراسنجه ­های جنبایی، ناهنجاری ­های اسپرم، یکپارچگی غشای آکروزومی، وضعیت کروماتین اسپرم ­ها، زنده ­مانی، تولید رادیکال ­های آزاد هیدروژن پراکسید و هیدروکسیل ارزیابی شدند. نتایج نشان داد که درصد جنبایی کل، جنبایی پیش­رونده و حرکت درمسیر مستقیم در گروه تحت تنش حرارتی به طور معنی­ داری پایین ­تر از گروه شاهد بود. هم­ چنین، درصد ناهنجاری ­های کل، اسپرم ­های با دم ­های گره خورده و اسپرم ­های با قطره پروتوپلاسمی سری در گروه تحت تنش حرارتی بیش ­تر از گروه شاهد بود (P≤0/05). براساس نتایج به ­دست آمده، تنش حرارتی باعث افزایش ناهنجاری ­های کروماتین اسپرم گاو شده (P≤0/05) اما اثر معنی ­داری بر افزایش آسیب ­های آکروزومی اسپرم ­ها نداشت. هم ­چنین، تنش حرارتی باعث کاهش زنده ­مانی اسپرم­ ها پس از یخ­ گشایی شده (P≤0/01) و میزان تولید پروکسید هیدروژن (H2O2) و رادیکال هیدروکسیل را افزایش می­ دهد (P≤0/05). براساس نتایج این آزمایش می‌ توان نتیجه گرفت که تنش حرارتی می ­تواند اثرات نامطلوبی بر ویژگی ­های کیفی اسپرم پس از انزال داشته و احتمالا باروری گاوها را نیز تحت تاثیر قرار دهد.

چکیده [English]

 This study was aimed to evaluate whether high ambient temperature (heat stress, HS) can affect sperm quality parameters in Belgian blue bulls. For this purpose, semen samples were collected from three healthy mature Belgian blue bulls which were located in a breeding company under uniform feeding and management conditions. After semen collection, and the primary evaluations, the ejaculates with more than 60 percent total motility were subjected to the freezing process. After thawing the samples were used to assess the motion parameters, morphological abnormalities, acrosome integrity, chromatin condensation, viability, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydroxyl ion production. The results indicated that total and progressive motility and straight-line velocity were lower in the HS group compared to the control (P≤0.05), moreover, the generation of H2O2, hydroxyl ions, percentage of aberrant chromatin condensation, total morphological abnormal sperm cells, spermatozoa with bent tails and proximal protoplasmic droplets were higher in the HS compared to the control (P≤0.05) while the percentage pf damaged acrosome was not differ between HS and control (P≥0.05). In conclusion, these findings show that elevated ambient temperature can decrease the quality of frozen-thawed bull spermatozoa may leading to a lower fertility rate.
