Impact of Sorting and Catch Media on Porcine Sperm Motility, Capacitation, and Viability

Key Points

Sperm motility and viability are significantly influenced by the composition of catch media, indicating improved fertilization potential.
Findings demonstrate that optimized incubation conditions reduce sorting-associated stress, preserving essential sperm functionality.
Analysis of sorting impacts on sperm showed that effective media can lead to enhanced capacitation and overall quality in porcine sperm.
Highlighting the potential for refining FACS protocols, these results suggest critical implications for agricultural and assisted reproductive techniques.

Abstract

These findings highlight the importance of optimizing catch media and incubation conditions to maintain post-sorting sperm functionality and inform the refinement of FACS protocols for agricultural and assisted reproductive technologies. By minimizing sorting-associated stress through media composition, sperm quality and fertilization potential may be better preserved.
