However, the reproductive efficiency of donkeys is relatively low, the reproductive cycle of female donkeys is long, the gestation period is about 12 months, and the estrus time is irregular, making it difficult to accurately grasp the ovulation time, which greatly limits the development of the donkey industry.

At present, a large number of researches on donkey sperm freezing and preservation technology have been carried out at home and abroad. Some researches focus on the screening and optimization of antifreeze agents, and try to use different types of antifreeze agents such as glycerol, dimethyl sulfoxide, ethylene glycol, etc., and adjust the concentration of antifreeze agents to reduce freezing damage, but the effect is not satisfactory. Some researches are committed to improving the freezing process, such as using programmed cooling, vitrification freezing, etc. However, due to the special biological characteristics of donkey sperm, there is still a large space for improvement in these methods to improve the effect of sperm freezing and preservation.

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for improving the cryopreservation effect of donkey sperm includes: S1: Semen collection. Healthy, sexually active male donkeys are selected. Semen is collected using a strictly sterilized artificial vagina in an environment with a temperature of 20-25℃ and a relative humidity of 60-70%. S2: Semen quality testing. The collected semen will be immediately assessed for sperm motility under a 37°C constant temperature phase contrast microscope. The sperm motility must be 0.7 or higher. At the same time, the sperm density will be measured using a sperm density meter. The density must be 100 million / ml or higher. Only semen with normal sperm morphology and no odor can be used for subsequent processing. S3: Semen dilution, including preparation of basal diluent, preparation of cryopreservative diluent, and semen dilution procedures, such as... Figure 2 As shown; S4: Semen freezing, using programmed cooling method for semen freezing; S5: Thaw the semen. Remove the capillary tube from the liquid nitrogen and immediately place it in a 38°C constant temperature water bath. Gently shake it until the semen in the capillary tube is completely thawed. Remove the capillary tube, wipe the water droplets off the surface of the capillary tube with sterile gauze, cut off both ends of the capillary tube, and transfer the semen to a sterile test tube for later use.

[0015] Current donkey semen cryopreservation technologies largely draw upon equine systems. However, significant differences exist in the lipid composition, osmotic pressure tolerance, and antioxidant enzyme activity of donkey sperm cell membranes. Conventional dilution solutions are prone to causing membrane damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, and DNA fragmentation during freezing and thawing, severely impacting the motility and fertilization capacity of the revived sperm. Therefore, it is urgent to optimize cryopreservation systems specifically for donkey characteristics to overcome the technical bottlenecks of cold shock damage and osmotic rupture in traditional methods.

[0016] This invention introduces a multi-component balanced buffer system into the traditional Tris-citric acid-fructose basal dilution system, adjusting the pH between 6.8 and 7.2, and controlling the osmotic pressure to 300–340 mOsm / kg to maximize the simulation of the physicochemical environment of donkey seminal plasma. This improvement significantly reduces the intracellular and extracellular osmotic pressure difference before and after freezing, lowers the probability of sperm volume mutation, and provides physical protection for membrane stability during the freezing process.

[0017] While traditional single glycerol protectants can prevent ice crystal formation, they are toxic to donkey sperm membrane proteins. This solution employs a composite protection system of glycerol, hydroxyethyl starch, chitosan oligosaccharide, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Glycerol regulates the freezing point balance inside and outside the cell, hydroxyethyl starch provides an external colloidal protective layer, chitosan oligosaccharide stabilizes the glycolipid complex structure on the sperm membrane, and BSA adsorbs cryo-induced free radicals, achieving dual protection inside and outside the cell.

[0018] Oxidative stress is a significant cause of membrane damage during freezing and thawing. This protocol introduces a synergistic antioxidant system of vitamin E and glutathione. Vitamin E is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that can embed itself in the sperm membrane to prevent lipid peroxidation, while glutathione is a water-soluble antioxidant that can scavenge free radicals in the cytoplasm. This dual-antioxidant system works simultaneously during freezing stress, effectively preventing sperm membrane peroxidation and nucleic acid breakage.

[0019] Traditional cooling processes often employ a fixed cooling rate, neglecting the thermal inertia and water migration dynamics of sperm cells. This invention proposes a "three-stage programmed cooling curve," controlling the cooling rate at different temperature zones to match the rates of intracellular and extracellular dehydration with ice crystal formation. This gradient cooling method effectively prevents membrane rupture and frostbite caused by uneven cooling, maintains membrane permeability and mitochondrial activity, and significantly improves motility after cryopreservation and thawing.

[0020] During the thawing process, the thin tubes were directly placed in a 38°C constant-temperature water bath, supplemented with a resuscitation diluent (secondary diluent) containing fructose, vitamin C, and trace amounts of lecithin. This system rapidly restores energy metabolism and rebuilds membrane lipid fluidity during the resuscitation phase, reducing cryolysis-induced osmotic rupture. Experimental results show that this method can significantly improve the overall viability and acrosome integrity rate of resuscitated sperm.

[0021] Through the synergistic effect of composite protective agents, antioxidant systems, and programmed cooling curves, this invention achieves a multi-layered protective mechanism for donkey sperm cryopreservation, encompassing "preservation of membrane integrity, stability of mitochondrial function, and safety of genetic material." The revived sperm motility is increased by an average of over 20%, the abnormality rate decreases by 30%, and the conception rate is increased by approximately 25% compared to traditional methods. This technology is not only applicable to the long-term preservation and transportation of male donkey semen but also provides technical reference and industrialization value for the cryopreservation of semen from equines and other large herbivores.

[0022] In step S1, before semen collection, the external genitalia of the male donkey are rinsed with warm water at 38-40℃ and dried. The temperature inside the artificial vagina is maintained at 38-42℃. An appropriate amount of sterile lubricant is applied. The collected semen is filtered through 8 layers of sterile gauze and then quickly placed in a 37℃ constant temperature container for testing. like Figure 4 As shown, the preparation of the basic diluent specifically includes: weighing 3.5g of Tris, 2g of glucose, 2g of citric acid, 20ml of egg yolk, 500,000 IU of penicillin, and 50,000 IU of streptomycin, adding distilled water to a final volume of 100ml, stirring thoroughly to dissolve, filtering through a 0.22μm filter membrane for sterilization, adjusting the pH value to 7.2-7.4, and storing at 4℃ for later use.

[0023] The preparation of the cryo-diluent specifically includes: adding 6 ml of glycerol to the base diluent and mixing thoroughly to obtain the cryo-diluent.

[0024] The semen dilution procedure specifically includes: slowly adding qualified semen to a pre-warmed basal diluent at a 1:1 volume ratio, gently shaking, and equilibrating at 37°C for 30 minutes. Then, slowly adding the equilibrated semen to a pre-cooled 4°C cryogenic diluent at a 1:1 volume ratio, gently shaking while adding, and continuing to equilibrate at 4°C for 60 minutes.

[0025] S4 specifically includes: dispensing the balanced semen into 0.5ml capillary tubes and sealing them with an ultrasonic sealer. The capillary tubes are then placed in a programmed cooling system and cooled from 4℃ to -20℃ at a rate of 1℃ per minute, then cooled to -80℃ at a rate of 5℃ per minute, and finally rapidly immersed in liquid nitrogen for preservation. like Figure 3 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a system for improving the cryopreservation effect of donkey sperm based on the method for improving the cryopreservation effect of donkey sperm. The system includes: Semen collection module 1: Healthy, sexually active male donkeys are selected and semen is collected using a strictly sterilized artificial vagina in an environment with a temperature of 20-25℃ and a relative humidity of 60-70%. Semen quality testing module 2 is connected to semen collection module 1. The collected semen is immediately evaluated for sperm motility under a 37℃ constant temperature phase contrast microscope, requiring a sperm motility of 0.7 or higher. At the same time, a sperm density meter is used to measure sperm density, which must be above 100 million / ml. Only semen with normal sperm morphology and no odor can be used for subsequent processing. Semen dilution module 3, connected to semen quality testing module 2, includes basic diluent preparation, frozen diluent preparation and semen dilution operation; Semen freezing module 4 is connected to semen dilution module 3 and uses a programmed cooling method to freeze semen. Semen thawing module 5 is connected to semen freezing module 4. The capillary tube is taken out from liquid nitrogen and immediately placed in a 38°C constant temperature water bath. It is gently shaken and removed after the semen in the capillary tube is completely thawed. The water droplets on the surface of the capillary tube are wiped dry with sterile gauze, the two ends of the capillary tube are cut off, and the semen is transferred to a sterile test tube for later use.

[0026] The system for improving the cryopreservation effect of donkey sperm provided by this invention adopts a modular structure design as its core concept, covering the entire process of collection, detection, dilution, freezing, and thawing, and realizing intelligent control of the entire process from obtaining biological samples to restoring sperm motility. Each module is linked with the control unit through sensors to achieve automated management of temperature, time, dilution ratio, and freezing curve. This system not only achieves standardized operation but also reduces human error, making the donkey sperm cryopreservation process repeatable and traceable.

[0027] The semen collection module consists of a temperature control device, a prosthetic vagina assembly, and sterile collection tubes. The system maintains the temperature of the prosthetic vagina's inner wall at 42±1℃ via a temperature control unit, while a humidity sensor maintains a relative humidity of 60-70% to prevent cold shock stress. After collection, the sample is automatically transferred to the detection module, avoiding external contamination and temperature fluctuations. Through precise temperature control and a sterile collection environment, this module ensures the stability of the initial semen quality, which is fundamental to improving the success rate of freezing.

[0028] The detection module consists of a microscopic imaging unit, a motility analysis submodule, and a density detection device. The system uses a computer-aided sperm analysis system (CASA) to evaluate collected samples in real time, with parameters including motility (VSL, VCL), forward motility rate, and abnormality rate. Data is automatically uploaded to a central control unit, and a threshold screening mechanism is set, allowing samples to be screened only when motility ≥ 0.7 and density ≥ 1 × 10⁻⁶. 8 Only samples with a density of / ml can proceed to the dilution process. This module's automatic judgment and screening mechanism significantly improves the success rate of cryopreservation and data consistency.

[0029] The dilution module consists of a multi-channel liquid mixing system, a stirring and temperature control unit, and an automatic dilution control device. The system automatically prepares the basal diluent and cryodiluent according to a set ratio, containing a complex cryoprotectant (glycerol, hydroxyethyl starch, chitosan oligosaccharide, BSA) and antioxidant components (vitamin E, glutathione). The control unit precisely controls the dilution rate to ≤1 ml / min via a peristaltic pump to ensure osmotic balance. This module effectively reduces sperm cold shock damage and osmotic rupture, improving cell stability before freezing.

[0030] The freezing module employs a multi-stage programmed cooling control system, consisting of a temperature sensor, a speed-controlled refrigerator, and a liquid nitrogen storage tank. The programmed cooling curve is divided into three stages: +5℃ to -5℃ (0.25℃ / min), -5℃ to -40℃ (0.5℃ / min), and -40℃ to -120℃ (1.0℃ / min), before finally transferring to liquid nitrogen for storage. The system uses a closed-loop temperature control algorithm to ensure that the temperature difference between the sample center and the outer layer does not exceed 3℃, preventing uneven ice crystal formation. Experimental results show that this module can significantly improve sperm membrane integrity and mitochondrial activity.

[0031] The thawing module includes a constant-temperature water bath and a rapid transfer mechanism. The system automatically identifies liquid nitrogen samples, controls the water bath temperature within the range of 38±0.5℃, and uses micro-vibration to assist thawing, ensuring uniform heat transfer. After thawing, a resuscitation diluent (containing fructose and vitamin C) is automatically added to rebuild the energy metabolism system. This module achieves dynamic matching between the thawing rate and osmotic pressure recovery, effectively avoiding membrane rupture and acrosome damage induced by cold thawing.

[0032] Through the coordinated operation of the aforementioned modules, this invention's system achieves standardized, visualized, and intelligent control of the entire process of donkey sperm cryopreservation. Extensive experimental verification has shown that, compared to traditional artificial methods, sperm resuscitation motility is increased by 20%–30%, membrane integrity by 25%, acrosome integrity by approximately 18%, and conception rate is significantly improved. The system can operate long-term in animal breeding centers, research institutions, and stud donkey stations, providing efficient technical support for donkey breeding, genetic improvement, and germplasm resource preservation, and has broad application value.

[0033] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, and within the spirit and principles of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
