     Abstract Plasma membrane lipids are the key factor in the ability of chicken sperm to be frozen. They ensure fluidity and flexibility of the sperm membrane for effective viability and motility during in vitro storage. The objective of this study was to compare the lipid profiles of different native and commercial chicken breeds: native Thai (Pradu Hang Dam) roosters and commercial (Rhode Island Red) roosters, with respect to their frozen sperm quality. In addition, lipid peroxidation and antioxidant enzymes superoxidase dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) were also examined. Semen was collected from 12 roosters of each breed. Parameters assessed ¬zincluded sperm motility and viability, malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration, activities of SOD and CAT and fatty acid profile. We found that sperm viability and total and progressive motility were higher in the commercial breed than in the native breed (P < 0.05). Levels of arachidonic acid (AA; C20:4 n-6) and acid (DHA; C22:6 n-3) were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in the commercial than in the native breed; however, n-6 to n-3 ratios were not different. The commercial chicken breed had higher MDA concentration than the native breed (P < 0.05), but antioxidant enzymes remained unchanged in both. In conclusion, our study found that lipid profiles have an influence on frozen sperm viability and motility between the breeds. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly AA and DHA are beneficial to sperm quality, but sperm in native chicken breeds can be improved through the addition of exogenous antioxidants to semen extenders during freezing.
