Effects of Ionophores on Ruminal Function of Beef Cattle
Animals, 2021 Ionophores have been widely used in the beef and dairy industry for decades to improve feed efficiency and performance by altering ruminal fermentation dynamics, increasing the level of propionate.

Restoration of Motility in Acrosome-Reacted Boar Spermatozoa Induced by the Ionophore 4-Br-A23187. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACT The acrosome reaction (AR) is a calcium‐dependent exocytotic event required for successful fertilization. Calcium ionophores are commonly used to induce AR in vitro; however, this treatment is associated with a significant loss of sperm motility. The aim of this study was to evaluate the recovery of motility in boar spermatozoa after ionophore‐
