Abstract Background Predicting male fertility in farm animals remains a challenge. Seminal plasma (SP) contains a high amount of heterogeneous seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs), believed involved in reproductive processes and maybe key to understanding male fertility.

Boar management and semen handling factors affect the quality of boar extended semen [PDF]
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 ...

Abstract EFSA has received a request for a rapid risk assessment for cereulide from the European Commission. Cereulide is a heat‐stable emetic toxin produced by Bacillus cereus, recently detected in infant formulae from multiple manufacturers. This led to precautionary recalls across several countries.

Reproductive management in pigs: emphasis on the different roles of the boar and on optimal insemination management [PDF]
Boars have different roles in the reproductive management in pigs. Boar contact can stimulate follicle development and thereby induce oestrus, both in gilts and sows.

Capacitation‐associated zinc redistribution and membrane remodeling predict IVF cleavage success. Distinct boar ejaculates were subjected to in‐vitro capacitation (IVC) and evaluated using image‐based flow cytometry and computer‐assisted semen analysis (CASA).

Scanning Electron Microscopy of the Rainbow Trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) Spermatozoon [PDF]
The scanning electron microscope was used to determine the morphology of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri Richardson) spermatozoon. The spermatozoon is approximately 32 μm long and consists of a head, mitochondrial collar, and flagellum.

Porcine vas deferens luminal pH is acutely increased by systemic xylazine administration [PDF]
Data are accumulating to demonstrate that pH regulation in the male reproductive tract has a vital role in modulating sperm cell fertilizing capacity and, therefore, male fertility.

Factors Affecting the Efficient Production of Boar Sperm [PDF]
ContentsEfficient sperm production in boars has developmental and functional components. Factors affecting the developmental phase influence Sertoli cell mitosis, appear to be mostly stimulatory and have permanent effects on production of sperm. Birthweight appears to hold promise as a prospective screening tool as it appears to have a strong positive ...

ABSTRACT Seminal fluid proteins are important modulators of male fertility and reproductive success, yet little is known about how their abundance responds to early‐life developmental stress. Japanese quail Coturnix japonica) males produce a unique seminal foam that enhances fertilisation success.
