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 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 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 abstractSuperovulation Response and Embryo Quality Recovered Following Flushing Nguni Heifers and CowsAyanda Maqhashu, Masindi L. Mphaphathi, Pokgedi J Sebei et al.The aims of the study were to compare super ovulatory response, fertilization rate and evaluate embryo quality recovered from super ovulated Nguni stud cows and heifers. Nguni cows (n = 15) and heifers (n = 10) aged 4-6 and 2 years, respectively, were used as embryo donors. Embryo donors were synchronized for estrus before superovulation. For superovulation donors were administered … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 4 · 25 Nov 2021 · 6,431 accessesView PDFCite
