Pig Spermatozoa Defect in Acrosome Formation Caused Poor Motion Parameters and Fertilization Failure through Artificial Insemination and Fertilization [PDF]

Asian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2014
The selection of morphologically normal spermatozoa is critical to obtain high breeding performances in boar breeding farms and artificial insemination (AI) centers. Parameters for the selection of semen mainly include total sperm motility, concentration,

Myo-inositol improves the viability of boar sperm during liquid storage

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023
IntroductionLiquid preservation of boar semen is a highly preferred method for semen preservation in pig production. However, oxidative stress is the main challenge during the liquid preservation of boar semen in a time dependent manner.

Effect of mesenchymal stem cells on animal semen during storage

Ветеринария сегодня, 2023
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been known to mankind since the mid-20th century. The comprehensive study revealed their high biologically active potential. Capacity of forming several types of body tissues was demonstrated.

A genome-wide association study on androstenone levels in pigs reveals a cluster of candidate genes on chromosome 6 [PDF]

, 2010
Background In many countries, male piglets are castrated shortly after birth because a proportion of un-castrated male pigs produce meat with an unpleasant flavour and odour. Main compounds of boar taint are androstenone and skatole. The aim of this high-

The distal end of porcine chromosome 6p is involved in the regulation of skatole levels in boars [PDF]

, 2011
Background Boar taint is an unpleasant condition of pork, mainly due to the accumulation of androstenone and skatole in male pigs at onset of puberty.

Comparative Analysis of piRNA Profiles Helps to Elucidate Cryoinjury Between Giant Panda and Boar Sperm During Cryopreservation

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Cryopreservation induces sperm cryoinjuries, including physiological and functional changes. However, the molecular mechanisms of sperm cryoinjury and cryoresistance are still unknown. Cryoresistance or the freeze tolerance of sperm varies across species,

Development of an optimal protocol to induce capacitation of boar spermatozoa in vitro

Journal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2022
In 1951, Colin Russell Austin and Min Chueh Chang identified “capacitation”, a special process involving ejaculated spermatozoa in the female reproductive tract.

Correlation of frequency of spermatozoa morphological alterations with sperm concentration in ejaculates of Polish Landrace boars [PDF]

Acta Veterinaria, 2013
The experiments were performed on 448 ejaculates obtained from 41 Polish Landrace boars. Ejaculates collected from each boar at one-month intervals for approximately 10 months were analysed.

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...
