Abstract:
The hidden treasure represented by epididymal spermatozoa has great potential in the
current reproductive technologies in dogs. In case of azoospermia or when a donor
male accidentally dies or undergoes orchiectomy, the retrieval of epididymal spermatozoa
opens new possibilities to generate progeny. Spermatozoa can be collected by
different techniques from ex vivo or in vivo testicles and can be cryopreserved for a
future use. Freeze tolerance of canine epididymal spermatozoa seems lower than that
of ejaculated spermatozoa; however, puppies were born after artificial insemination
with frozen epididymal semen, other than with fresh and chilled. Even though several
aspects need to be further investigated, advances have been recently made in the use
of epididymal spermatozoa in assisted reproduction in dogs.
