Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) allows assessing the motility of individual
spermatozoa, generating huge datasets. These datasets can be analyzed using data mining …

Simple Summary Many species are threatened with extinction. A consequence of the
decreasing population sizes is the loss of genetic diversity. To maintain this genetic diversity …

Inseminations with frozen–thawed epididymal sperm have resulted in low-pregnancy rates
of mares. If fertility of epididymal sperm could be improved, it would help to preserve genetic …

Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is an extremely rare genetic disorder for
which no cure exists. The disease is characterized by premature aging and inevitable death …

Boar bulk ejaculates are now being collected instead of usual sperm-rich fractions (SRF) for
artificial insemination purpose. The present study evaluated the influence of holding boar …

Abstract Background The wisent (Bison bonasus) is a species that has undergone a
population bottleneck. Homozygosity is prevalent within the population and may have a …

Contents Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the application of
reproductive technology to the conservation and management of natural populations of …

The placenta is responsible for all nutrient and gas exchange between mother and baby
during pregnancy. The differentiation of specialised placental epithelial cells called …

Antioxidants may be useful for supplementing sperm extenders. We have tested
dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), TEMPOL, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) and rutin on epididymal …

Artificial reproductive technologies (ART) for cervids have improved, but a need remains for
the collection of basic data. We studied two models of sperm collection in Iberian red deer …
