Abstract

Were carried through six semen harvests, being two per week, of four boars. After the harvest, the ejaculated was filtered and diluted with diluent Proli-Max®, increased of the antibiotic ceftiofur clorhidrate (66,6 mg/L), in accordance with the concentrations to follow: Treatment I: 30x106 spermatozoid/mL; treatment II: 50x106 spermatozoid/mL; and treatment III: 70x106 spermatozoid/mL. After the dilution (T0) and after 24 (T24), 48 (T48) and 72 (T72) hours of refrigeration at 17°C evaluated total motility, progressive motility and vigor. The final concentration of 50x106 spermatozoid/mL presented better resulted of quality of cooled semen of boars.
