Small and Large Seminal Extracellular Vesicles Differentially Modulate Capacitation-Related Parameters in Frozen-Thawed Porcine Epididymal Spermatozoa. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT Seminal extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been proposed as modulators of sperm function, but their exact role remains unclear. Most studies use ejaculated sperm for clarification. This approach has limitations; nevertheless, as ejaculated sperm have already been exposed to their own native sEVs, which hinders the assessment of their specific ...

Interleukin-4 Supplementation During In Vitro Culture Modulates the Expression of Stress- and Immune-Related Genes During Porcine Blastocyst Development. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementing in vitro culture medium of porcine zygotes with interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) on their developmental competence and quality. Cumulus‐oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured and fertilized in vitro.

Frozen Boar Semen Can Be Successfully Stored at -80°C, Reducing Need for LN₂ Storage Containers. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT This study explores alternative freezing approaches aimed at reducing or avoiding the use of liquid nitrogen (LN2) to store boar semen. Sperm‐rich fractions from three boars were pooled and frozen in 0.25‐ and 0.5‐mL straws using four different protocols: a conventional method (Control; LN2 vapours followed by immersion and storage in LN2 ...

Buserelin Improves Ovulation-Embryo Synchrony Compared With hCG After eCG-Induced Superovulation in Donor Sows. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT This study directly compares hCG and buserelin as ovulation‐inducing agents following eCG‐based superovulation in weaned donor sows, focusing on their practical impact on ovulation‐embryo synchrony under field conditions. Fifty‐five multiparous sows received 1000 IU eCG 24 h after weaning and were treated at onset of estrus with either 750 IU ...

Recent Advances and Emerging Applications in Embryo Vitrification for Livestock. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT Vitrification has progressively supplanted conventional slow freezing as the method of choice for embryo cryopreservation in both human medicine and animal production, particularly for in vitro‐produced embryos and for species or developmental stages highly sensitive to conventional freezing.

Pre-Weaning Administration of a PGF2α Analogue (Cloprostenol) and Its Influence on Early Reproductive Indicators in Sows Under Commercial Farm Conditions. [PDF]

Reprod Domest Anim
ABSTRACT Efficient reproductive management in commercial swine production requires minimising non‐productive days and ensuring rapid return to oestrus after weaning. The present study evaluated the effect of pre‐weaning administration of cloprostenol, a PGF2α analogue, on early reproductive indicators in sows under commercial farm conditions.
