Boar ejaculates are ejected in fractions with a specific composition in terms of sperm
numbers and seminal plasma (SP), which is reflected in the varying sperm cryotolerance …

AI is commercially applied worldwide to breed pigs, yielding fertility outcomes similar to
those of natural mating. However, it is not fully efficient, as only liquid-stored semen is used …

The study attempted to clarify the role of total antioxidant capacity of seminal plasma (SP-

Contents In Western countries, where pig breeding and production are intensive, there is a
documented variability in fertility between farms with boar‐related parameters only …

A complete characterization of the proteome of seminal plasma (SP) is an essential step to
understand how SP influences sperm function and fertility after artificial insemination (AI) …

Glutathione peroxidase-5 (GPX5) is an H2O2-scavenging enzyme identified in boar seminal
plasma (SP). This study attempted to clarify its origin and role on sperm survival and fertility …

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship of enzymatic (superoxide
