-- Cryopreserved sperm of Vicugna pacos “alpaca” were subjected to stressful conditions that would be associated with an overproduction of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and a decrease in antioxidant capacity which leads to lipid peroxidation of the membrane reducing cell viability. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of α–Tocopherol supplementation on movility, viability, functional integrity of the membrane and acrosomal integrity of frozen/thawed alpaca sperm. Epididymal sperm collected from 16 alpacas were cryopreserved in TES-Tris-yolk medium supplemented with different concentrations of α–Tocopherol (0, 200, 500 and 1000 μg/mL, using the slow freezing procedure in straws and stored at -196 °C for a minimum period of 30 days. The results showed that the sperm motility values in the supplemented groups were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that unsupplemented group. The extender supplemented with 200μg/mL of α–Tocopherol had a vitality value significantly higher than that of other concentrations (p<0.05). The percentages of HOST and acrosome intact were significantly improved by supplementing with 200 μg/mL of α–Tocopherol compared with control group. In conclusion, α-Tocopherol, supplemented at 200 μg/mL concentration in TES-Tris-yema extender during cryopreservation had a positive effect on post-thawed sperm quality.
