Advances in Boar Semen Cryopreservation [PDF]
Veterinary Medicine International, 2011 The present paper highlights aspects of the cryopreservation of boar semen, a species with particular large, fractionated ejaculates, and a cumbersome cryotechnology that had prevented its commercial application. With the dramatic increase of use of liquid pig semen for artificial breeding over the past decade, developments on cryopreservation ...

Recent advances in boar semen cryopreservation [PDF]
Bioscientifica Proceedings, 2020 Since 35 years ago boar semen has been frozen and used for artificial insemination (AI). However, fertility of cryopreserved porcine sperm has consistently been low as boar sperm are more sensitive to cellular stress imposed by changing osmotic balance, oxidative stress, low-temperature exposure, cryo-protectant intoxication etc.

Colloid Centrifugation of Boar Semen [PDF]
Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 2011 ContentsColloid centrifugation of boar semen has been reported sporadically for at least the last two decades, beginning with density gradient centrifugation (DGC) and progressing more recently to single layer centrifugation (SLC). Single layer centrifugation through a species‐specific colloid has been shown to be effective in selecting the best ...

Boar management and semen handling factors affect the quality of boar extended semen [PDF]
Porcine Health Management, 2017 Artificial insemination (AI) is the preferred method for reproduction in the majority of the intensive pig production systems Worldwide. To this end, fresh extended ready-to-use semen doses are either purchased from AI-centres or produced by boars kept on-farm.

Fertility of Frozen-Thawed Boar Semen [PDF]
Australian Journal of Biological Sciences, 1979 Farrowing results of six fertility tests are presented. Semen was processed by removal of seminal plasma and addition of glycerol at 30°C before (method A) or after (method B) stepwise cooling to 5°C, and by the Beltsville method (C). Sperm concentrations at freezing were 0·9 x 109/ml (A and B) and 0·6x 109/ml (C).

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,

Antimicrobial Resistance as a Problem for the Quality of Boar Semen
Acta Veterinaria, 2020 The aim of the study was to determine whether the bacteria from the environment and from the mucous membrane of the boar prepuce have antimicrobial resistance and whether the result obtained is similar/same to the bacteria that can be found in native ...
