Prospects for using post-mortal genetic materials on the example of sable to ensure the biodiversity in natural systems

Abstract

The article presents a technique of taking a genetic material from a postmortem material of appendage and testes of sables, conducted research to determine the mobility of sperms, morphological assessment and survival of sperms outside the animal body. When introducing artificial insemination in the sable industry, the use of post-mortem genetic material obtained from male sables is a promising direction in the reproduction of sable as a particularly valuable commercial species, as well as for its introduction into the zoo culture in order to ensure the biodiversity of natural systems where these animals live. It can also be used in the development of programs for the reproduction and conservation of populations of other particularly valuable, rare, and endangered species of mammals.
