The cryopreservation of donkey semen has shown limitations on fertility that discourages their use as routine for professionals working with this species. Incorporation of cholesterol-loaded cyclodextrin (CLC) has proved a promising alternative to improve the resistance of spermatozoa cryopreservation in several species. The aim of this study was to determine the effects of adding different CLC concentrations on in vitro viability of frozen-thawed Pêga donkey spermatozoa. Twenty-five ejaculates from five donkeys (five ejaculates per animal) were submitted to different concentrations of CLC: 0 mg (control), 1 mg (T1), 2 mg (T2) and 3 mg (T3) / 120 x 106 total spermatozoa for 15 minutes before freezing. Samples were thawed and evaluated for physical integrity of sperm plasma membrane (eosin-nigrosin), functional integrity (HOST), sperm morphology, longevity (TTR), and viability of sperm plasma membrane and acrosome (tested with fluorescent probes - IP/FITC-PNA). Physical parameters were measured by subjective and objective (CASA) evaluation. Treated groups had higher physical and functional integrity plasma membrane (P<0.05) than control. Inclusion of CLC resulted either in higher total and progressive motile (CASA) (P<0,05). There were no differences in the amount of cells with plasmas membrane and acrossome intact by epifluorescence test (P>0.05). No difference was observed for total motility and vigor between treatments during TTR (P>0,05). The use of cholesterol- loaded cyclodextrin increases the resistance of frozen-thawed process, number of cells with motility and viable membranes (P<0,05). Futher studies should be conducted to evaluate the influence of CLC cryopreserved donkey spermatozoa fertility.
