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 · 8,608 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimizing 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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence 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 · 6,616 accessesView PDF Cite
