Contents One of the limits to practical use of frozen boar sperm involves the lowered fertility
when used for artificial insemination. Years of studies have shown that 5–6 billion sperm …

Cryopreservation induces extensive biophysical and biochemical changes in the sperm. In
the present study, we used flow cytometry to assess the capacitation-like status of frozen …

Causes of poor fertility after insemination of frozen-thawed (FT) sperm include reduced
sperm viability at thawing and a shorter longevity of surviving sperm in the female genital …

Contents The present experiments were designed to study the effect of adding the detergent
Equex‐STM® to freezing extender, and of straw volume (0.25 ml vs 0.5 ml), on boar sperm …

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the holding time at 15° C prior to
cryopreservation (2, 4 and 8 h), thawing rate (37° C for 20 s or 70° C for 8 s) and post-thaw …

Objective To study single sperm boar motility using electrical impedance measurements in a
microfluidic system. Design Comparison of the optical data and electrical impedance data …

Selecting the optimal sperm population is essential for success with reproductive
techniques. Porcicoll (formerly Androcoll-P) is a colloid formulation for selection of high …

In this study we demonstrate, in the frozen state, the architecture of frozen boar spermatozoa
collected from the sperm-rich fraction of ejaculates (n= 13) from four fertile boars packed and …

This study evaluated the effect of different proportions of dead spermatozoa on the quality of
liquid boar semen during a thermo‐resistance test (TRT). After 3 days of storage (17° C), 54 …

Frozen–thawed boar sperm (FTS) has reduced in vitro and in vivo life span compared to
liquid semen. Experiments tested whether extenders, thawing procedures, and storage …
