摘要: AbStr Act : The objective of this experiment was to test a hypothesis that L-carnitine supplemented diet would improve semen characteristics in 6 adult crossbred AI boars (Hampshire × Pietrain). control and the tested were identical except period (8 weeks) when with 2 g l-carnitine per boar day. collected regularly weekly by gloved-hand technique. Semen volume, sperm motility concentration, proportion alive cells aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT) activity determined immediately after collection once every two weeks. Sperm survival rate, morphologically abnormal spermatozoa, seminal plasma mineral components free amino acid concentration sample storage (-20°C) at later time. differences ascertained between average values vs. did not prove true unambiguous positive effect on parameters dietary supplementation as our data show study: volume (239.11 250.50 ml; P 0.518), (301.67 350.83 10
