Untargeted Metabolomic Identifies Potential Seasonal Biomarkers of Semen Quality in Duroc Boars

Biology
High semen quality is vital for reproductive success in the swine industry; however, seasonal fluctuations often compromise this quality. The molecular mechanism underlying these seasonal effects on semen quality remains largely unclear.

First Taxonomically Curated DNA Barcode Reference Library for Polish Myriapods Fills an Important Knowledge Gap for Soil Invertebrates in Central Europe, Part I: Millipedes (Myriapoda: Diplopoda)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Boar Quality Semen Testing and Presence of Mycoplasma Organism

Open Access Journal of Veterinary Science & Research, 2017
This paper describes results of mycoplasma organism and Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae detection in semen of boars. During routine examination of semen quality in 2015 and 2016, different percent of specific changes in the spermatozoa of 23 boars were observed and these samples were subjected to mycoplasma detection. These changes were manifested as frequent

The Influence of Air Contact on the Quality of Extended Boar Semen

Acta Scientiae Veterinariae, 2016
Background: The extensive use of artificial insemination in the swine industry emphasizes the need for distribution of good quality semen doses by the artificial insemination centers. A factor that could modify seminal quality is the contact of extended semen with environmental air.

Urban Stone Marten (Martes foina)–Human Conflicts: A Longitudinal Survey‐Based Approach to a Persistent Challenge

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Interviews with car mechanics in Kraków (2010 vs. 2023) examined long‐term human–stone marten conflict related to car engine damage. While the total number of reported incidents changed little, the conflict rate relative to the growing number of registered cars significantly decreased.

Pre-cooling of boar semen before transport in a hot environment enhances biosafety

Frontiers in Microbiology
In a changing climate, the increase in temperature of boar semen doses during shipping to sow farms is a concern. Temperatures above the recommended storage range of 16–18°C for boar semen may compromise sperm quality due to bacterial growth and heat ...

Impact of Methylparaben on Cumulus Cell DNA Integrity and Porcine Oocyte Developmental Competence In Vitro

Journal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 9, Page 2985-2996, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Parabens (PBs) are compounds widely used as preservatives in personal care products, food, and pharmaceuticals. Methylparaben (MePB) is the most used by different industries due to its chemical properties and low cost. The high daily human exposure to these compounds has raised concerns about their potential effects on health, particularly on ...

Temporal effect of flaxseed oil in boar’s diet on semen quality, antioxidant status and in-vivo fertility under hot humid sub-tropical condition

Scientific Reports
The present study investigates the temporal effects of flaxseed supplementation on boar semen quality, antioxidant status, and in-vivo fertility under high-temperature humidity index (THI) conditions in a sub-tropical climate. Twelve Hampshire crossbreed
