A method to cryopreserve semen from the Vervet monkey ( Cercopithecus aethiops ) has been developed, yielding a mean post thaw recovery of 63.60% of pre‐freeze progressive motility. The extender contained a TES‐TRIS buffer, egg yolk, dextrose, streptomycin, penicillin, and glycerol as cryoprotectant. The pH ranged from 7.10–7.18 and the osmolality was 330–345 mOsmol/L.
