Résumé

An experiment was outlined to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of fresh and dry garlic inclusion in egg yolk citrate extender on rooster semen. Fresh and dry garlic were soaked in distilled water (1:4) and were included in egg yolk-citrate buffer at 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7% for treatments 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, respectively and unextended semen as control (T1). The extenders were mixed with semen at ratio 1:2 and evaluated for semen quality parameters. The results obtained showed that livability of sperm cells and semen pH was not adversely affected by both extenders (aqueous dry and fresh fortified extenders) at all inclusion levels. The percentage sperm motility was high and was within 80 to 100% in all aqueous dry garlic inclusive extended semen compare to aqueous fresh garlic extended semen which recorded 60% at 5 and 6% fresh garlic inclusion in egg yolk extender. This revealed that garlic both fresh and dried aqueous extracts posses significantly contribute to the extending abilities of egg yolk citrate extender.
