| dc.description.abstract | Preservation of bull sperm by deep freeze is a technological process that allows you to store semen in theory for an unlimited period of time, national and international transport, without significant loss of quality and safety of semen. According to the literature, some microorganisms successfully survive the low temperatures during storage of semen in liquid nitrogen (-196 ° C), in deep-frozen semen, seeds, and in liquid nitrogen and ice sediment in the storage container for deep-frozen bull semen. The aim of this study was to do microbiological analysis of samples semen frozen bull and liquid nitrogen in containers for bull semen storage. 414 samples of frozen bull semen, and 53 samples of liquid nitrogen ice sediment were examined. From the deeply frozen semen were isolated Candida albicans, Citrobacter freundii and Pseudomonas stutzeri. Microorganisms isolated from the storage container of frozen semen are mostly members of the family Enterobacteriacae, and Citrobacter freundii was isolated from the largest number of samples. Considering the findings of microorganisms in the semen, and liquid nitrogen, there is the possibility of connection of contamination of the semen with microorganisms of the liquid nitrogen, and reversely, as would be the goal of our future investigations. | en |
