Metabolomic analysis of seminal plasma to identify goat semen freezability markers [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023 Factors affecting sperm freezability in goat seminal plasma were investigated. Based on the total motility of thawed sperm, goats were divided into a high-freezability (HF) group with >60% total motility (n = 8) and a low-freezability (LF) group with &

Proteomic signatures of sperm and extracellular vesicles associated with sperm freezability in Holstein bulls [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSemen cryopreservation and artificial insemination have crucial and beneficial effects on cattle breeding. The freezability of sperm, as primarily reflected by post-thaw sperm motility (PTM), is essential for evaluating semen quality.

Could Individual Variability in Resistance to Cryopreservation (“Freezability”) Serve as a Biomarker Reflecting Boar Fertility? [PDF]
AnimalsSubfertile boars often go undetected until they cause significant reproductive losses. Current semen quality assessments are limited in their ability to predict fertility, highlighting the need for complementary biomarkers.
