The experiment was performed at the Caprinocutura Department of Animal Science, Federal University of Viçosa, in Viçosa-MG. The goal was to add in the thawing of goat semen, solutions of Ringer's lactate, sodium citrate and 2.92% and TRIS solution to verify the stability and persistence of sperm motility and strength as well as changes in the plasma membrane. Semen was collected from adult male goats were healthy with history of normal fertility, during the natural breeding season (March-April 2010). We evaluated the physical characteristics of semen at collection and the thawing of straws, which have undergone a process of cooling medium. Even after thawing were performed three additional tests: test of heat resistance (TTR), supravital and bonding sperm in egg yolk. All average values for fresh semen as the volume (mL), motility (%), strength (0-5), sperm concentration (x10 9 total) and morphology (% normal) were consistent with that recommended by the Brazilian College of Animal Reproduction (CBRA), being 1.0 ± 0.04, 83.1 ± 0.54 3.9 ± 0.08, 3.3 ± 0.2 and 90.8 ± 0.85, respectively. The parameters motility (33.1 ± 1.8%) and strength (3.0 ± 0.1) semen analysis in the post-thawing (5 minutes) also attended what is established by CBRA the beginning of the TTR, but the period of survival of semen did not exceed 90 minutes after thawing, decreasing sharply over time. The treatment control was the with highest motility after thawing (42.2 ± 2.0) and the treatment received the TRIS solution showed greater persistence (90 minutes) and less abrupt decline in motility parameters and force in relation to other treatments. In all treatments, after 30 minutes of TTR, the parameters were lower than those recommended by the CBRA. One possible explanation for the TRIS solution have allowed persistence and less abrupt decline in motility and strength parameters may bedue to the increase in volume and dilution of the elements that could be being toxic to sperm (free radicals) and also the addition of fructose ( substratro energy), TRIS and citric acid (buffering agent).Additional tests (test of binding of sperm in egg yolk and supravital test) performed in this study showed no difference between treatments (P> 0.05). A positive correlation between motility and supravital test, the test can be considered a ratification of motility assessed subjectively by the researcher. No significant difference was found between the morphologic alterations observed after cryopreservation compared to fresh semen. It was concluded therefore that the addition of Ringer lactate, sodium citrate 2.92% and TRIS solution did not allow greater persistence of motility and vigor after thawing. We suggest the in vivo tests to verify whether the survival time after addition of diluents presented is sufficient to achieve fertilization, since it can count on the assistance of the female external factors (nutrition and aid in movement of sperm). It is further recommended the use of fluorescent probes to assess sperm to better verify the membrane integrity of sperm, since sperm motility in this study had motility after thawing, but their membranes could be altered to the point of not supporting the challenge of temperature (37 °C) for long periods.
