Limited Utility of a Test‐Yolk Buffer Semen Extender for Preserving Human Semen Parameters for Use in a Diagnostic Setting

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1701-1711, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Identification of a preservation medium that accurately retains semen parameters would be advantageous for men requiring semen analysis by allowing them to produce sperm samples at home rather than on site or even facilitate ‘mail order’ semen analysis.

Genetic Parameters and Sex‐Specific Architecture of Observed and Latent Fertility Phenotypes in a Closed Breeding Nucleus of an Arctic Salmonid

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 667-678, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Successful reproduction is a key factor for efficient breeding schemes and sustainable animal farming. Aquaculture breeding programs rely heavily on small fractions of selected breeders to yield large production stocks, given the high fecundity typically observed in these species. In Sweden, Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) is a salmonid with

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 705-718, September 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Fish Sperm Subpopulations Detection, Separation, and Application: Current State and Trends

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
Modern advances in sperm biology highlight the necessity of recognising intra‐ejaculate heterogeneity as a central concept for advancing both the fundamental understanding of fertilisation processes and the development of artificial reproduction techniques in fishes. ABSTRACT Sperm subpopulations represent a fundamental manifestation of intra‐ejaculate

Gestational Feed Restriction Induces Differential Expression of Novel Long Non‐Coding RNAs in Offspring Skeletal Muscle

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate how maternal feed restriction at different gestational stages alters the expression of novel long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in the skeletal muscle of goat offspring. LncRNAs are emerging as important regulators of biological processes, including myogenesis, yet their role in fetal programming remains largely ...

COMPARISON OF hCG AND GnRH FOR SYNCHRONIZATION OF THE FOLLICULAR WAVE IN SAANEN GOATS DURING THE BREEDING SEASON

Slovenian Veterinary Research
This study aimed to compare the effects of a single dose of GnRH or hCG administered at the beginning of the short-term oestrus synchronization protocol on ≥4 mm diameter follicles in Saanen goats during the breeding season.

Healthier Herds, Heavier Workloads? The Gendered Time and Resource Implications of Herd Health Management in Kenyan Dairy Systems

Journal of International Development, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 933-945, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Strategies for sustainable intensification of livestock are critical for food system transformation. In dairying systems, herd health management is among such strategies. Although adoption patterns and productivity gains have been analysed in previous studies, the social implications are still not well understood.

Ophthalmic artery Doppler as potential surrogate marker of angiogenic imbalance in near‐term pregnancy

Ultrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 68, Issue 2, Page 211-219, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives First, to evaluate whether the ratio of soluble fms‐like tyrosine kinase‐1 to placental growth factor (sFlt‐1/PlGF) is associated with hemodynamic changes in ophthalmic artery (OA) Doppler in near‐term pregnancy. Second, to assess the performance of OA Doppler to rule in and rule out angiogenic factor imbalance.

Comparison of Tree‐Based Machine Learning Algorithms for Classification of Livestock Breeds Based On Post‐Thaw Spermatological Parameters

Veterinary Medicine and Science
Reproductive efficiency is a crucial determinant of livestock productivity, with sperm quality being a key factor in successful fertilization. The quantitative assessment of spermatozoa using computer‐assisted sperm analysis (CASA) yields valuable ...

Bovine bacterial abortion caused by Escherichia coli infection

Veterinary Record Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract A 3‐year‐old, 500 kg Holstein cow aborted at 7 months of gestation. On histological evaluation of the fetal lungs, abundant neutrophils infiltrated the alveolar spaces, bronchi and bronchioles with intralesional Gram‐negative bacteria, immunolabelled with Escherichia coli immunohistochemistry.
