Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOsmolarity 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 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 abstractSupplementation 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 PDF Cite

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 PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of the Tensioactive Agent SDS on Extender’s Boar Semen Viability after ThawingMaria Helena Moreira da Silva, Loide Valadão, Fernando Moreira da SilvaEffects of the surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS) on the motility and viability of boar semen after thawing were evaluated. For such purpose, semen of twelve adult boars was collected twice a week, the rich portion of this semen was separated and frozen with different concentrations of SDS (0; 2.5; 5; 10; 20 and 40 mM). For freezing the semen … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 20 Jan 2021 · 7,795 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOxidative Status of Boar Semen during StorageEraldo Zanella, Ricardo Zanella, Márcia Rósula Poetini et al.The intensification of the use of artificial insemination in the swine industry has increased the interest to develop proper conditions to store semen better for longer periods of time without affecting its fertility. Trolox is a vitamin E analog with antioxidant property to prevent oxidative stress. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the Trolox antioxidant capacity on … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 31 May 2016 · 7,550 accessesView PDF Cite
