This review is part of the Festschrift in honor of Dr. Duane Garner and provides an overview
of current techniques for cooled storage of semen from livestock animals. The first part …

The use of antibiotics with semen extender appears to be a practical solution to minimise
bacterial growth in fresh boar semen preservation. Unfortunately, the excessive use of …

Porcine breeding today is based on artificial insemination with chilled semen. This is stored
at 5° C with antibiotic supplementation to avoid bacteriospermia. There are many negative …

In the face of antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic-free, low-temperature storage of boar
semen has been well-researched in recent years and promising results have been obtained …

Over the years, reproductive efficiency in the swine industry has focused on reducing the
sperm cell number required per sow. Recent advances have included the identification of …

The aim of this study was first to examine the prevalence of bacteria-associated loss of
sperm quality in samples from insemination centers during a seven-year semen monitoring …

Introduction Facing the global threat of antimicrobial resistance, the reduction of antibiotic
use in semen extenders is a main goal in artificial insemination (AI) of pigs. The aim of this …

The shipping of liquid preserved semen is common practice in animal breeding and prior to
cryopreservation for gene banking. Vibration emissions during transport may be harmful to …
