- Abstract
Milt of the Leuciscus idus L. was collected from five experimental groups, and selected parameters of its quality were analysed for 36 h (group II), 60 h (group III), 84 h (group IV) and 108 h (group V), respectively, after hormonal stimulation with Ovopel (1 granule kg−1 of body weight). The control (group I) fish were not subjected to hormonal stimulation. The highest milt volume was obtained from the fish in group IV (0.70 ± 0.55 mL), where the largest volume of milt expressed per kilogram was also obtained (3.03 ± 1.94 mL kg−1). Significant differences were also found in milt volumes obtained between group I and groups III ( P<0.01) and IV ( P<0.05). The highest percentage of motile spermatozoa was found in the milt of group IV (59%); significant differences were found between group I and groups II ( P<0.01) and III ( P<0.001). The value of osmotic pressure of seminal plasma was the highest in group IV (203.19 ± 37.63 mOsm kg−1), and the lowest in group I (118.31 ± 41.13 mOsm kg−1). Parameters determining milt quality and quantity indicate that the period of 60–84 h after hormonal stimulation with Ovopel is optimal for obtaining milt from ide.
