Effect of Electroejaculation Protocols on Semen Quality and Concentrations of Testosterone, Cortisol, Malondialdehyde, and Creatine Kinase in Captive Bengal Tigers [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris) is critically endangered, so assisted reproductive technologies, including artificial insemination, are important conservation tools. For wild and domestic felids, electroejaculation (EE) is the most common semen

Electroejaculation of chimeric rats [PDF]
Lab Animal, 2013 With the advent of genetic engineering of rodents came the need to assess fertility and germline competency, especially in chimeric rodents generated using embryonic stem cells. Traditional methods rely on natural mating and progeny testing, which is time- and cost-intensive.

Semen collection using electroejaculation and sperm parameters in pacas (Cuniculus paca, Linnaeus, 1766) [PDF]
Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2023 Pacas (Cuniculus paca) are highly hunted animals because of the flavor of their meat, and commercial breeding is recommended. However, this species has a relatively low reproductive rate.
