Sperm DNA fragmentation in boars is delayed or abolished by using sperm extenders
The semen quality of seven young adult boars was assessed for percentages of sperm motility, normal acrosomes, abnormal sperm, cells positive to sHOST (short Hipoosmotic Swelling Test), HPNA cells (sHOST Positive with Normal Acrosome cells) and the percentage of sperm heads, which exhibited DNA fragmentation using the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion test ...

The Effects of Different Cryoprotectants on Stallion Epididymal Spermatozoa
Any event that makes semen collection or mating impossible, such as death, castration, or injury, may terminate a stallion’s breeding career. Fortunately, stallion sperm which are capable of fertilization can be harvested from a region adjacent to the ...

Feed interventions and skatole deposition
Skatole produced in the large intestine of the pig and the testicular steroid androstenone are the main substances contributing to boar tainted meat from entire male pigs.

Cryoprotective effect of glycerol against sperm DNA damage in frozen-thawed boar spermatozoa. [PDF]
The use of frozen-thawed boar sperm still lags behind chilled boar semen in artificial insemination (AI) operations despite its advantages [1]. Freezing however, may damage the structure and function of sperm, leading to reduced fertilization success ...

Studies on epididymal sperm neuraminidase from boar, bull and rabbit
Neuraminidase was extracted from bull, boar and rabbit epididymal sperm by the following methods: sequential (hypotonic MgC12 and homogenization followed by detergent), acid (acetic acid and sonication followed by detergent) and acid-Brij (acetic acid ...

The impact of Klepsiella oxytoca on boar sperm quality
Bacterial contamination of boar semen occurs with some frequency in artificial insemination centers and may have a negative effect on the quality of the semen as well as on the sows’ reproductive capacity.

Microscopic analysis of MTT stained boar sperm cells
The ability of sperm cells to develop colored formazan by reduction of MTT was used earlier to develop a spectrophotometric assay to determine the viability of sperm cells for several mammalian species.
