    Abstract: Abstract This study was conducted to evaluate the comparative cryoprotective effects of whole egg yolk and clarified egg yolk on post thaw sperm quality parameters and to determine the optimum clarified egg yolk inclusion level (10-20%) in semen extenders for Mashona bull semen cryopreservation. It was shown that there was a significant decrease in sperm quality variables following cryopreservation. Semen quality increased with the concentration of clarified egg yolk, indicating a positive relationship between egg yolk LDL concentration and maintenance of in vitro sperm quality. The 20% clarified egg yolk (CEY20) extender treatment gave post-thaw motility, viability and normal morphology values which were comparable to the control (20% whole egg yolk, WEY20). The 10% clarified egg yolk concentration gave the least post-thaw quality values and the greatest proportion of defective spermatozoa. This experiment found no advantage of replacing whole egg yolk with up to 15% clarified egg yolk in Mashona bull semen cryopreservation. However, 20% clarified and 20% whole egg yolk performed similarly in the maintenance of post-thaw sperm motility, viability and normal morphology.
