Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuality of Sperm Simmental Bulls and Success of Artificial Insemination with the Addition of Nanocalcium Phosphate in Tris Aminomethane Egg Yolk Diluent Using Semen Storage Ampoules from Nanocalcium Silicophosphate BiomaterialsEnike Dwi Kusumawati, I Wayan Karyasa, Yogi Pratama Putra et al.Success in Artificial Insemination (AI) is largely determined by the quality of the stored semen, therefore storage devices, especially straws or ampoules, are an important part that cannot be separated from the overall semen cryopreservation technology. Making a prototype of semen storage ampoules from nanocalcium silicophosphate biomaterials is based on the need for straws or ampoules. Semen storage in spermatozoa … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 28 May 2024 · 5,211 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTestosterone Concentration, Libido and Spermatozoa Quality in Gembrong Goats after in vivo and in vitro PGF2α AdministrationHusnurrizal, Sri Wahyuni et al.The Gembrong goat population is currently in a critical state. The preliminary study results show that one of the factors causing the population decline is the low fertility of male goats characterized by low sperm quality. The improvement of the spermatozoa quality can be performed with the administration of PGF2α. This study aims to determine the difference in semen quality … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 29 Apr 2024 · 5,541 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFrozen Semen Quality of Kolbroek Boars Concerning Glutathione ConcentrationsLerato Deirdre Sehlabela, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.Glutathione (GSH) is an antioxidant that is being studied for its ability to improvecellular responses to semen preservation challenges. The research goal aimed toevaluate the impact of introducing different glutathioneconcentrations to boar semen freezing extender (0, 1, 5, and 10 mM) onthe Kolbroek boar sperm's quality after being frozen and thawed. For 2 h, thecollected sperm-rich fraction was chilled at … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 1 Apr 2023 · 6,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Japanese Quail Egg-Yolk Extender in Cryopreservation of Cockerel SemenRantloko Rolly Maapola, Khathutshelo Agree Nephawe, Tshimangadzo Lucky Nedambale et al.The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of quail egg yolk extenders in the cryopreservation of cockerel semen. Ten Venda cockerels were chosen randomly and semen was collected twice a week with a two-day rest period using an abdominal massage technique. Immediately following semen collection, semen samples were evaluated for microscopic parameters (sperm cell motility, viability, morphology, … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2023 · 5,638 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStudy the Efficacy of Different Concentrations of Coconut Water on Boar Semen Following Equilibration at 18°C for Different HoursMduduzi M. Tshabalala, Masindi L. Mphaphathi, Thivhilaheli R. Netshirovha et al.A rich natural resourcesuch as Coconut Water (CCW) features high concentrations of antioxidants,nutrients, amino acids, sugars, and electrolytes. These herbal extractinfusions are used in semen extenders to preserve animal sperm. In addition,CCW is important for in vitro productionof embryos.
