Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGenomic Regions and Candidate Genes Associated With Semen Traits in Rams: A Systematic GWAS Review With Implications for South African Sheep BreedsNhlakanipho Sam Zulu, Khoboso Christine LehloenyaRam fertility is a key determinant of reproductive efficiency in sheep production systems, particularly under extensive and semi-extensive conditions prevalent in South Africa. Semen quality traits, including ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, motility, and cryotolerance, exhibit measurable genetic variation and are increasingly investigated using genomic approaches. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from three eligible Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analyses that have … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 26 Oct 2026 · 50 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSemen Quality and Artificial Insemination Efficacy Using Sericin-Silica-Phosphate-CuO Hydrogel in Thin-tailed SheepEnike Dwi Kusumawati, I Wayan Karyasa, Duran Corebima Aloysius et al.Artificial Insemination (AI) in livestock is increasingly demanded because it greatly affects the productivity and quality of livestock. AI should be supported by advanced material chemistry, especially organic-inorganic hybrid biomaterials. We aimed to produce a prototype of renewable advanced biomaterial technology in the form of Sericin-Silica-Phosphate (SER-SI-PO) hydrogel reinforced with Copper Nanoparticles (CuNPs) and its application in AI. The testing … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 10 Jun 2025 · 3,851 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleIn vitro Kinematics Semen Tolerance to Oxidative StressCyril Mpho PilaneInterpretation of semen kinematic parameters remain as a point of discussion in predicting semen quality following processes like cryopreservation. During cryopreservation, oxidative stress remains a challenge in promoting post-thaw semen quality. Comparison of livestock semen exposed to oxidative stress, in vitro, highlight various aspects of sperm cell movement, like kinematics, to predict their qualities. Sperm cell kinematics includes the measurement … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 13 Sep 2024 · 4,560 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSupplementation with Different Concentrations of Dithiothreitol and Glutathione During Cryopreservation of Semen from Large White BoarsMahlatsana Ramaesela Ledwaba, Masindi Lottus Mphaphathi et al.The study aims to compare different concentrations (0, 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10 mM) of antioxidants, Dithiothreitol (DTT) and Glutathione (GSH), on sperm parameters following the freeze-thawing of semen from large white boars. Three large white boars were selected for semen collection and the collected semen was sent to the lab for analysis. Following dilution with Beltsville thawing solution and … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 3 · 3 Jun 2024 · 5,517 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleQuality 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 accessEvery word in the titleFrozen 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 accessEvery word in the titleEvaluation 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 accessEvery word in the titleStudy the Efficacy of Different Concentrations of Coconut Water on Boar Semen Following Equilibration at 18°C for Different HoursMduduzi M.
