Optimization of the Thawing Protocol for Iberian Boar Sperm
Animals, 2022 Thawing protocols have been barely studied, and their modifications may lead to a substantial improvement in post-thawing sperm quality, which could be of great relevance to existing sperm banks, such as those for Iberian pig breeds with varieties in danger of extinction.

Effects of zinc chloride on boar sperm quality during liquid storage at 17°C
Veterinary Medicine and Science, 2023 Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of zinc chloride (ZnCl2) at 20, 50, 100, and 200 μg/mL on the quality of seminal plasma‐free boar sperm stored at 17°C for 7 days and to explore the underlying mechanisms.

Spermadhesin PSP-I/PSP-II heterodimer induces migration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils into the uterine cavity of the sow [PDF]
, 2009 The heterogeneous seminal plasma (SP) is involved in endometrial inflammation and following immune changes that occur post-mating in pigs. This study tested whether SP spermadhesins (binding heparin [HBPs] or not [PSP I/PSP II]) recruit different ...

Paraoxonase 1 activity in the sperm-rich portion of boar ejaculates is positively associated with sperm quality [PDF]
, 2022 Associations of the activity of the paraoxonase 1 (PON1) enzyme with boar sperm quality still needs to be characterized, since boar ejaculates present distinct portions with differences in sperm concentration and quality.

Temperature Elevation during Semen Delivery Deteriorates Boar Sperm Quality by Promoting Apoptosis
Animals, 2023 Semen delivery practice is crucial to the efficiency of artificial insemination using high-quality boar sperm. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of a common semen delivery method, a Styrofoam box, under elevated temperatures on boar sperm ...

Effect of zinc on boar sperm liquid storage
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Storage and transport of liquid boar sperm for artificial insemination (AI) requires the addition of solutions called extenders, which increase the volume of the ejaculate and help preserve its functional characteristics. Yet, the quality of sperm decreases over time primarily due to the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage

Recent development in freezing strategies of pig semen-A review
Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2022 Of late studies on frozen thawed boar semen have dramatically improved boar semen cryopreservation technique, albeit the commercial application of cryopreserved boar semen has not yet been popular. Some studies claimed successful fertility/ fertilization

Artificial insemination with frozen‐thawed boar sperm [PDF]
Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2017 Artificial insemination with frozen‐thawed semen in pigs is not a routine technique; its use is restricted to specific cases, such as preservation of valuable genetic material (germplasm banks), safety strategies in case of natural disasters, long‐distance transport of sperm, and in combination with sex‐sorting.

Effect of an Antioxidant Supplement Combination on Boar Sperm
Animals, 2022 The study was conducted on a commercial pig farm located in Serbia. Thirty Duroc or Landrace breed boars were randomly selected for this study. The experimental group was fed a compound feed with added organic selenium and Oxynat 3D. The antioxidant status parameters of boar seminal plasma were evaluated using a biochemical analyzer and commercial ...
