Boar semen extender Kp (Hankook Life-Science, Korea) was newly formulated by authors. This study was carried out to investigate the optimal concentrations of EDTA, Tris and citrate buffers in the Kp extender (Basic Kp) on the pH change during storage. And then the motility of boar sperm with the Kp pH stabilized (Modified Kp) was compared with those of commercial products imported into Korea such as BTS (Mini-tube. Germany; BTSg), BTS (Tri-bio, USA; BTSa) and Modena (SGI, USA). The pH values of all extenders were increased gradually with the storage days. Especially, the initial pH of Basic Kp was higher than that of BTSg, BTSa and Modena, and also higher than physiological pH of boar sperm (6.8∼7.5). When Basic Kp was added with various concentrations of EDTA (0, 0.63, 1.25 ＆ 2.37g/L), Tris (0, 0.18, 0.35, 0.71 ＆ 1.42g/L) and Citrate (0, 0.75, 0.81, 1.00, 1.25 ＆ 1.50g/L) buffers for pH down-regulation and stabilization of pH, the group added with 1.25g EDTA, 1.42g Tris and 1.00g Citrate well maintained the neutral range of pH during storage (6.88 at day1 to 7.33 at day6 in Modified Kp), Especially, the concentrations of the buffers added in Modified Kp were lower, until 1/2∼1/4 ranges, than those in Modena and other extenders. The motility of frozen-thawed boar sperm diluted with Modified Kp was significantly higher than that of Basic Kp, BTSg, BTSa and Modena (87.0% vs. 55.0∼71.0% at day1; 13.3% vs. 0∼6.3% at day6), Conclusively, Modified Kp in this experiment was kept the favorable physiological conditions in spite of low concentrations of the buffers and motility of frozen-thawed boar sperm was obtained better than that of Basic Kp and other commercial products such as BTSg, BTSa and Modena.
