This paper describes the seminal characteristics of the plasma membrane of frozen-thawed sperm. Nineteen ejaculates of Nordestino horse breed. The aspects analyzed in the physical parameters of fresh semen were total and progressive motility and your longevity after dilution or thawed; sperm morphology, functional and structural integrity of the plasma membrane of the sperm and the sperm-binding ability to the perivitelline membrane of the yolk (MPV) after thawed. The variables were assessed by ANOVA with post hoc test of Student Newman-Keuls test (P<0.05). The total and progressive motility were higher in diluted semen than thawed (P<0.05). The average percentage of the major, minor and total defects was lower than the limit recommended by the CBRA. The percentage of reactive to hypo-osmotic swelling test was 14.21 +/- 1.12%, the intact membrane detected by supravitally test was 62.22 +/- 9.06% and the SYBR-14 was 81.47 +/- 26.9. The ability of sperm to bind to the MPV after thawing semen was 230.39 +/- 57.09. The total and progressive motility at time 0 min of termo resistance test was higher than to 150 minutes (P<0.05), and no difference was observed in the times 10 and 30 minutes. The results demonstrate that the use of additional laboratory tests help in the process of evaluation of samples, making possible to obtain more reliable and accurate information. Although cryopreservation has caused decrease in sperm motility and was used diluents with amides to diluted and cryopreservation protocol and this minimized the osmotic damage to sperm cells and maintained the morphological, functional and structural integrity of the plasma membrane of the sperm. These results are a reference for future studies since there are no comparative data on this breed.
