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 ...

A novel experimental design for boar sperm cryopreservation
Journal of Animal Science, 2022 AbstractCryopreservation of sperm is a routine technology in many livestock species, but not in swine. Frozen sperm must result in acceptable conception rates and produce 11 to 12 piglets/litter to be competitive with traditional cooled semen. The development of an extender that results in high post-thaw sperm quality and acceptable litter size ...

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

GSTM3, but not IZUMO1, is a cryotolerance marker of boar sperm [PDF]
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2019 Cryopreservation is currently the most efficient method for long-term preservation of mammalian gametes and is extensively used in swine artificial insemination (AI) centres. However, it is well-known that cryopreservation procedures induce changes in the water phase in both intra and extracellular compartments, which alter the content and localisation

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.After decades of dramatic reductions in their populations, Italian wolves have begun recolonizing parts of their historic range. This growth in populations can lead to potential conflicts with human activities, which remain the main cause of wolf mortality.

Reproductive management in pigs: emphasis on the different roles of the boar and on optimal insemination management [PDF]
, 2009 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.

Andrology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Challenges in establishing clinical conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) in horses include variation in sperm and oocyte quality, which can be affected by mare age. Extended preincubation of stallion spermatozoa has resulted in successful IVF.

Aquaglyceroporins but not orthodox aquaporins are involved in the cryotolerance of pig spermatozoa
Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology, 2019 Background Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane water channels that includes orthodox AQPs, aquaglyceroporins (GLPs) and superAQPs. AQP3, AQP7, AQP9 and AQP11 have been identified in boar sperm, and they are crucial for sperm maturation and ...
