Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of copper sulphate on inhibition of microorganisms and their influence on sperm survival in BTS extender without antibiotics. Microorganisms were not significantly inhibited by any amounts of copper sulphate. The tested amount BTS+SCA increased sperm survival in the TRT test by 7.5% to BTS. Use of the tested amount of copper sulphate as a potential substitute for antibiotics in boar semen extender is not appropriate
