Cryopreservation is the most efficient method for long-term preservation of mammalian
sperm. However, freeze-thawing procedures may strongly impair the sperm function and …

Artificial insemination with frozen‐thawed semen in pigs is not a routine technique; its use is
restricted to specific cases, such as preservation of valuable genetic material (germplasm …

Contents While sperm cryopreservation is the best technology to store boar semen for long‐
term periods, only 1% of all artificial inseminations (AI) conducted worldwide are made using …

This study was designed to test a vitrification method in Atlantic salmon spermatozoa and
determine the capacity of seminal plasma (SP) to protect these cells from cryoinjuries. The …

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 …

Semen freezability is associated with genetic markers, and there is a diverse set of sperm
transcripts that have been attributed to various cellular functions. RNA-Seq was performed to …

The development of sperm cryopreservation has enabled transcendental changes to occur
in the reproductive biotechnology of both mammals and fish; it has become a basic tool for …

The present paper highlights aspects of the cryopreservation of boar semen, a species with
particular large, fractionated ejaculates, and a cumbersome cryotechnology that had …

Reproductive seasonality has been shown to affect the quality of boar semen. In this study,
effects of seasonal variations in the characteristics of spermatozoa and seminal plasma (SP) …

Spermatozoa present in the first collectable 10mL of the sperm-rich fraction (SRF) of the
boar ejaculate (portion 1, P1) have higher documented viability during and after …
