Silver Nanoparticles in Donkey Semen Stored at 17°C: Effect on Sperm Parameters and Bacterial Growth. [PDF]
Reprod Domest AnimABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on donkey sperm parameters and their antimicrobial efficacy on bacteria isolated in the presence of antibiotics. Nine donkey ejaculates were collected and stored in a skim‐milk extender at different AgNPs concentrations (0, 0.01, 0.8, 1.6 and 3.12 mg/mL) at 5°C or
