Freezing Boar Semen Studied
Researchers are analyzing the
fat composition of boar semen
for hints on why the semen will
not withstand freezing.
Frozen bull semen shipped
fiom collection centers to cat
tle breeders in all paits of the
world has, for many years, done
much to impiove dairy cattle
The swine mdustiy has hope foi
a similar benefit fiom fiozen
semen, especially with the le
cent success in obtaining syn
chronized estrus in sows (ARG
RES , Sept 1965, p 3).
Although unfrozen boar se
men has been used successfully,
it deteriorates rapidly, so only
about one-tenth of one peicent
of the 15 million swine matings
done yearly in the U.S. aie
made by artificial insemination
Attempts to handle boar semen
like bull semen by freezing,
thawing, and then inseminating
it have not yet succeeded be
cause after freezing, boar semen
does not fertilize the egg.
ARS biochemist L. A. John
son has been pursuing a chemi
cal study of boar semen at
Beltsville, Md., for the past 2 x k
years with cooperation from
physiologists R. J. Gerrits of
ARS and E. P. Young of the
University of Maryland, Col
lege Park. Attention centers
on fats, or lipids, which are in
terlaced with protein to make
up a large proportion of the
outer membrane of the sperm
cell.
By their location, lipids in
fluence the permeability of the
membrane to chemicals, such as
those used to preserve semen;
and they may help protect the
sperm cell against adverse con
ditions, such as freezing.
Johnson has pretty well fin
ished typing the lipids. As in
most species, about 70 percent
of the fats are phospholipids

because they contain an atom of
phosphorus
Boar sperm cell phospholi
pids proved unusual, however,
because they contain a high pio
portion of unsaturated, long
chain fatty acids, the building
blocks of lipids In most animal
tissue, the aveiage level of un
satuiated fatty acids with as
many as 22 caibons in a chain is
5 to 30 percent But in the boar
speim cell, the pioportion of
unsatuiated fatty acids con
taining 22 caibons is nearly 60
percent. Whether this unusual
makeup is ielated to the speim
cell’s fieezabihty lemains to be
seen.
Knowing these intncate de
tails about lipid composition,
Johnson is now going on to
freeze boar semen and to de
termine changes in the pi ©por
tion and amount of its phos
pholipid and fatty acid com
position. Some of the compon
ents may be chemically altered,
but more likely, Johnson says,
the freezing process sloughs off
some of them When he knows
which critical lipids are lost, re
search can be designed to find
ways to avoid this loss.
Local Hofcherymen
Attend Sales Workshop
Russell Mease, Manager, and
Mr. Paul Coveil, Salesman, of
Babcock Hatchery, Inc, Lititz,
recently completed a week long
marketing woikshop held by
Babcock Poultry Farm, Inc in
Ithaca, New York.
Members of Babcock’s re
search staff discussed the tech
niques used in making the Bab
cock B-300 Leghorn the most
popular layer in the world-today.
Discussions weie also earned
out in production management,
business management, industry
economics and marketing.
During the Awards Banquet
on the last night of the affair.
Mease and Covell were piesented
plaques indicating their success
ful completion of the Babcock
Workshop. This is one of the
services offered by Babcock to
assure poultrymen that their
local distributor of Babcock lay
ers is up-to-date with the latest
information and methods

Game Commission Law En

said that whitetails killed on
highways fall into one of three
classifications fit for human con
sumption, unfit for human con
sumption but usable, and unfit

Deer which are fit for con
sumption are delivered by game
piotectors to charitable institu

10ns of the Game Law.
Brown said that deer which
are unfit for human consump

to hide and tallow companies,
