Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUse of Cooled Bull Semen as a Strategy to Increase the Prenancy Rate in Fixed-Time Artificial Insemination Prgrams-Case ReportAndre Maciel Crespilho, Frederico Ozanam Papa, Marcos de Paula Santos, Manoel Francisco de Sa FilhoSemen cryopreservation is still considered suboptimal due to lower fertility when compared to fresh semen. The reasons for the loss of fertility are various and related to irreversible damage caused to the cells during the freeze-thaw process. An alternative to conventional cryopreservation represents the use of chilled bull semen, preventing the damage associated with freezing, thereby guaranteeing greater sperm viability. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 2 Feb 2013 · 8,681 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOsmolarity of Coconut Water (Cocos nucifera) Based Diluents and their Effect Over Viability of Frozen Boar SemenBottini Luzardo, M. Centurion Castro, F. Alfaro Gamboa et al.Problem statement: Boar sperm cells are sensitive to the freezing process, which compromises viability of frozen-thawed sperm. In a constant search for minimizing or suppressing sperm cell damage caused by the temperature and osmolarity changes during the freezing process, crioprotective and antioxidant substances have been added to the freezing media, such as coconut water, in order to increase the viability … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,115 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordEffect of Temperature Change and Estradiol Levels on Cattle Oocytes Developmental Competency: Comparing X-Sexed and Non-Sexed Sperm Following in vitro FertilizationMaleke Dimpho Sebopela, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aimed to investigate the effects of temperature change and estradiol (E2) hormone level on In Vitro Maturation (IVM) and fertilization of cattle oocytes using X-sexed and non-sexed sperm. In experiment 1: The oocytes were incubated at various temperatures of 35.5, 36.5, 37.5, 38.5, 39.5 and 40.5°C under similar conditions with 5% CO2, in humidified air for 22 h. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2023 · 5,319 accessesView PDF Cite
