Table 6.

Reproductive parameters obtained 6 days after heterologous seminal plasma (SP) or Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS; control) infusions 30 min prior to insemination.

Group No. of sows Corpora lutea Oocytes-embryos Recovery rate (%) Viable embryos Fertilization rate (%)
SP 16 25.7 ± 8.4 24.3 ± 8.6 94.8 ± 14.1 22.6 ± 7.3 94.3 ± 11.8
BTS 18 24.9 ± 5.6 22.8 ± 5.1 92.0 ± 9.7 21.1 ± 6.4 91.3 ± 14.9

Data are mean ± standard deviation (six replicates). Means of corpora lutea, oocytes-embryos and viable embryos were compared by using unpaired Student t-test. Means of percentage data (recovery and fertilization rates) were analyzed using Mann Whitney U-test for two independent samples.
