Abstract

There was studied the cytotoxicity of substances from amides’ and diols’ series (three representatives from each) in respect to the fowl and turkey spermatozoa at a preparative stage to freezing. It was shown, that the lowest damaging effect on fowl spermatozoa was observed in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMFA) and DMFA + 2,3-buthane diol (2,3-BD) mixture and for turkey spermatozoa was ethylene glycol (EG) and DMFA+EG, correspondingly.
