Sperm cryopreservation is a powerful tool for the livestock breeding program. Several
technical attempts have been made to enhance the efficiency of spermatozoa …

During ejaculation, the spermatozoa are transported by the seminal plasma, a fluid resulting
from secretions originating mainly from the prostate and the seminal vesicles in mammals …

Extracellular microvesicles present in the epididymal fluid have been named
epididymosomes. Many epididymosome-associated proteins are transferred to spermatozoa …

Metabolites play essential roles in biological systems, but detailed identities and
significance of the seminal plasma metabolome related to bull fertility are still unknown. The …

Global demand for animal proteins is increasing, necessitating increased efficiency of global
food production. Improving reproductive efficiency of beef cattle, especially bull fertility, is …

The concept that a father's wellbeing at the time of conception influences the development
and long-term health of his offspring is now well established. However, the mechanisms …

Bull fertility is an important economic trait in sustainable cattle production, as infertile or
subfertile bulls give rise to large economic losses. Current methods to assess bull fertility are …

Infertility and subfertility account for huge economic losses in the animal industry; indeed,
50% of animal breeding failure is associated with male infertility. Approximately 70% of …

Sperm are highly specialized compartmentalized cells, with unique compositional,
morphological and functional properties, including a plasma membrane that undergoes …

Acquisition of fertilization ability by spermatozoa during epididymal transit occurs in part by
the transfer of molecules from membranous vesicles called epididymosomes …
