Compositional Detection of Zeno Behaviour in Timed Automata [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The formal specification and verification of real-time systems are difficult tasks, given the complexity of these systems and the safety-critical role they usually play. Timed Automata, and real-time model-checking, have emerged as powerful tools to deal

Small and Large Seminal Extracellular Vesicles Differentially Modulate Capacitation‐Related Parameters in Frozen–Thawed Porcine Epididymal Spermatozoa

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
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 ...

Molecular Regulation of Post‐Hatching Embryo Development: Implications for Early Pregnancy Losses in Livestock Species

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Pregnancy loss (PL) remains a major limitation to reproductive efficiency in livestock, with a substantial proportion originating during early embryo development, particularly between blastocyst hatching and implantation. This developmental window encompasses complex processes of lineage differentiation and morphogenesis. Accumulating evidence

Modeling heat stress effects on first service to conception rates in Canadian Holstein dairy cattle

open access: yesJournal of Dairy Science
: Heat stress (HS) can result in decreased production and poor fertility performance in dairy cattle. There is limited understanding of the point at which heat load begins to affect fertility, causing a major challenge for the industry.

A Low Concentration of a Sustainably Obtained Blueberry Extract Improves the Post‐Thawing Motility of Cryopreserved Bull Spermatozoa

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural extracts could improve sperm storage and artificial insemination (AI). This study, for the first time, evaluates the suitability of a blueberry extract (Vaccinium corymbosum), obtained from pomace using a sustainable methodology, as a supplement for bull semen extenders.

Cinnamaldehyde as a Natural Antimicrobial in Donkey Semen: Efficacy and Sperm Cytotoxicity

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Bacterial contamination of donkey semen samples is a major concern due to its deleterious effects on sperm quality; this issue is exacerbated during semen storage. Therefore, evaluating the effect of antimicrobials on sperm is of utmost importance.

Comparative Susceptibility of Donkey and Horse Sperm to Liquid‐Storage Temperature

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Preservation protocols for donkey sperm are based on those developed for horses, despite potential interspecific differences in cooling tolerance. This study compared horse and donkey sperm during long‐term storage at 5°C and 17°C. Ejaculates from four stallions and four jacks (n = 16) were centrifuged, resuspended in skimmed milk‐based ...

Livestock Blastoids: In Vitro Blastocyst Models for Embryogenesis and Reproductive Technologies

open access: yesReproduction in Domestic Animals, Volume 61, Issue S3, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding early embryogenesis in livestock remains a persistent bottleneck in both reproductive biology and animal breeding. Work in domestic species has long been limited by restricted access to embryos, ethical considerations, and the complexity of peri‐implantation development, making mechanistic studies difficult.

Effects of postpartum energy balance, body condition score, and insemination time on conception rates of Bonsmara cows bred using timed artificial insemination

open access: yesSouth African Journal of Animal Science
Fertility management of extensively farmed beef cattle in South Africa is essential to ensure the economic viability of such production systems. However, the success of timed artificial insemination (TAI) programmes varies, affecting cattle farmers ...
