Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleStudy the Effect of Extracted Low-Density Lipoprotein from Egg Yolk on the Cryopreservation of Nguni Bull SemenMduduzi M. Tshabalala, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi, Khathutshedzo A. Nephawe et al.The mechanism on how Egg Yolk (EY) helps sperm to survive the low temperature outside the animal body during cryopreservation and thawing process is not yet known. It is usually believed that the Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is the major component that provides protection. The present study was undertaken to assess the cryo-protective effect of different concentrations (6, 8, 10 and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2021 · 6,915 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUse of Quinolones in Bull Semen Extenders to Reduce Sperm Deoxyribonucleic Acid DamageClara Gonzalez-Marin, Michael Eduard Kjelland, Rosa Roy et al.Cryopreserved sperm samples from Holstein bulls (n = 20) were examined for bacterial presence and Sperm DNA Fragmentation (SDF) dynamics. SDF was assessed after thawing (T0) and at 4, 24 and 48 h of incubation (37°C) and the rate of SDF (r-SDF), as an estimator of the DNA degradation over time, was calculated. Two groups of bulls were identified based … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 29 Dec 2012 · 7,430 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleOsmolarity 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 PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTesticular Development in Holstein, F1 Crossbred Holstein-Gyr, Gyr, and Nellore Bulls During Puberty and Sexual Maturity in Tropical ConditionsGustavo Eduardo Freneau, Jose Domingos Guimaraes, Vicente Ribeiro Vale Filho, Arnhold EmmanuelContext: Puberty and sexual maturity are very important economic aspects in the beef industry and bull production. The aim of this study was to characterize and determine the sexual development of Bos taurus, Bos indicus, and F1 crossbreeds of these two subspecies of bulls and their testicular growth and shape. We observed the evolution of testicular development characteristics and seminal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 2 · 9 Jul 2026 · 1,197 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOptimizing Boar Epididymal Sperm Preservation: Comparative Analysis of Slicing Float-Up vs. Flushing and BTS vs. Andromed® Extenders on Sperm Motility and Morphometry TraitsMamonene Angelinah Thema, Ntuthuko Raphael Mkhize, Gerhard van der Horst et al.Epididymal sperm collection represents a valuable strategy for preserving genetics from deceased or castrated boars of superior breeding value. The two primary collection methods-slicing float-up (high sperm yield) and flushing (low blood contamination risk)-differ in sperm recovery efficiency, while semen extenders provide cryoprotective nutrients that protect against cold shock during preservation. This study compared the effects of slicing float-up versus … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 4 · 14 Mar 2026 · 1,794 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTestosterone 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
