Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of borax on inhibition of microorganisms and their influence on sperm motility during liquid preservation in short-term boar semen extender. the tested amounts of borax decreased sperm motility during TRT test. Use of the tested amounts of borax as a potential substitute for antibiotics in boar semen extender is not appropriate because their low activity in the reduction of microorganisms was found.
