Abstract
The seminal plasma of mammals play a decisive role in the
protection of spermatozoa during cooling. Heteroplasmic and heterospermic
studies of Ganguli (1978) revealed that the seminal plasma plays a
definite role in spermatozoan motility, survival and viability. Protein
may increase the the permeability of biological membranes and it
has been suggested that the basic proteins of the seminal vesicles have
a similar effect on the membrane of spermatozoa (Hibbitt and Benians,
1971). High protein content in boar semen was shown to render the
sperm cell membrane susceptable to injury by cooling and deep
freezing (Lavon and Boursnell, 1971).
