Abstract
The objective of the present study was to investigate the preservative effect of green tea extract as a natural antioxidant on sperm quality parameters of rooster in the duration of an entire spermatogenesis cycle. Sixteen rooster divided into four aliquots and consumed diets supplemented with 0, 30, 60, 90 mg of green tea extract/kg of feed. On 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 70 days after start semen fluid were collected and CASA for sperm motility, progressive motility, linearity (LIN), curvilinear velocity (VCL), amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH), average path velocity (VAP), straight line velocity (VSL), nonapoptotic sperm and DNA fragmentation (by staining sperm with acridine orange). Treatments 3 and 4 reduced apoptotic sperm and improved some of sperm motion parameters such as ALH (P<0.05). However, in last days of experiment, treatment 4 had adverse effects on VAP and VSL (P<0.05). The least amount of green tea extract (30 mg/kg of feed) improved VAP (P<0.05). The results showed that daily consumption of 60 mg green tea extract/kg of feed, as a natural antioxidant, could possibly lead to improve some of sperm motion parameters and reduced apoptosis.
