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 · 1,204 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 · 1,800 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 · 5,549 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInvestigation of Oocyte Retrieval Methods and Maturation Media on in vitro Development of Porcine EmbryosKayla M. Honneysett, Masindi L. Mphaphathi, Edward C. Webb, Ayanda MaqhashuThe objectives of the study were to: Compare oocyte retrieval methods (aspiration and slicing) from pig ovaries on oocyte quality and quantity; compare in vitro maturation (IVM) media (North Carolina State University -NCSU 37; Tissue Culture Medium-TCM 199; and porcine follicular fluid-mpFF) on oocytes polar body extrusion; compare the effect of Electrical Stimulation (ES) and frozen-thawed semen on cleavage rates … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 5 Jan 2022 · 6,603 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsBiotic and Abiotic Factors of Sperm nDNA Fragmentation in Farm AnimalsBaylar Iolchiev, Natalya Volkova, Pavel Klenovitskiy et al.Infertility and subfertility are among the global challenges of our time. Fertility in livestock farming is not only biologically important, it is also economically important. The aim of this study was to study the effect of these factors on sperm chromatin nucleus and to assess the impact of the fragmentation index degree on bull reproductive performance. The influence of abiotic … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 11 Mar 2021 · 6,717 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInfluence of Different Freezing Curves on the Acrosome Integrity of Male Goat Sperm CellsSofia Alexandra Fagundes Lopes, Henrique José Duarte Rosa, António Chaveiro, Fernando Moreira da SilvaThe aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of three different freezing curves on male goat’s sperm viability and acrosome integrity. Semen was collected on three adult male goats in February (Azores, Portugal, latitude 38°39′N) using an artificial vagina and a female with induced heat. Three collection sessions were spaced of approximately 5 days. The study followed … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2021 · 6,618 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Repeated Freezing and Thawing on Nguni Sperm Parameters Evaluated by Computer Assisted Sperm Analyzer SystemMasindi Lottus Mphaphathi, Tshimangadzo Lucky NedambaleThe aims of the current study were to assess the effect of double freezing and thawing on Nguni semen parameters. Semen was collected from Nguni bulls. The Sperm Class Analyzer® system was used to evaluate sperm motility rates prior and post freezing, repeatedly. Semen samples were diluted with egg yolk citrate extender. Cooled semen samples were loaded into straws and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 27 Jan 2021 · 6,596 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsKinetic Motilities of Cryopreserved Bull Spermatozoa: Owing to the Effect of Eurycoma longifolia Jack Aqueous ExtractFalah Hasan Baiee, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Haji Yusoff et al.This study was carried out to improve the kinetic motilities of frozen-thawed bull semen diluted with tris-based egg yolk diluent that was supplemented with Eurycoma longifolia jack aqueous extract. A total of 24 ejaculates were obtained from six cross-bred bulls using an electro-ejaculator. The extract of Eurycoma longifolia jack was distributed into three low doses and three high doses; cryopreserved … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 16 Jun 2017 · 8,640 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDetermination of Breeding Seasonality in Rusa Deer (Rusa timorensis) Stags via Serum Testosterone ProfilingWan Nor Fitri Wan Jaafar, Abd Wahid Haron, Rosnina Hj Yusoff et al.Breeding seasonality in mammals is influenced by the environmental changes and the endocrine response of the animals to that changes. Comprehension in breeding seasonality enables better reproductive management consequently maximizing the reproductive potential of the stags. Despite that, the study in breeding seasonality in Rusa deer (Rusa timorensis) is still scarce. Five healthy and matured stags were selected for this … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 19 Mar 2017 · 8,611 accessesView PDFCite
