摘　　要：The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of docosahexaenoic acid （DHA）-enriched hen egg yolks and L-cysteine supplementation on the qualities of the cryopreserved boar semen. A total of 15 ejaculates from 5 Pietrain boars were divided into 4 groups according to the compositions of the freezing extenders used, that is, normal hen egg yolk （group Ⅰ）, DHA-enriched hen egg yolk （group Ⅱ）, normal hen egg yolk with 5 mmol L^-1 of cysteine supplementation （group Ⅲ） and DHA-enriched hen egg yolk with 5 mmol L1 of cysteine supplementation （group Ⅳ）. The semen was cryopreserved using controlled rate freezer and was thawed at 50℃ for 12 s. Progressive motility, sperm viability, acrosome integrity and functional integrity of sperm plasma membrane of the post-thawed semen were evaluated. The supplementation of L-cysteine in the freezing extender alone （group Ⅲ） improved progressive motility （P 〈 0.05）, and the supplementation of L-cysteine in combination with DHA-enriched hen egg yolk （group Ⅳ） improved both progressive motility （P 〈 0.05） and acrosome integrity （P 〈 0.01）. The use of DHA-enriched hen egg yolk alone （group Ⅱ） did not enhance any of the post-thawed semen qualities （P 〉 0.05）. In conclusion, the supplementation of antioxidant L-cysteine alone or in combination with DHA-enriched hen egg yolk significantly improved the post-thawed semen qualities, especially progressive motility and acrosome integrity.The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of docosahexaenoic acid （DHA）-enriched hen egg yolks and L-cysteine supplementation on the qualities of the cryopreserved boar semen.
