Simple Summary The success of semen preservation is vital for the use of artificial
reproductive technologies in sheep. However, reduced temperatures can cause significant …

Contents Artificial insemination in ram is scarcely widespread comparing with other
domestic species. This has been due not only to fertility results being irregular and low but …

We have applied a statistical protocol based on principal component analysis, clustering
methods, and discriminant analysis for the identification of sperm subpopulations in …

We have compared two methods for salvaging epididymal sperm from post-mortem samples
from Iberian red deer. Of each pair of testicles (29 samples), one cauda epididymis was …

Sperm recovery from the cauda epididymis can be very advantageous, for example, in case
of the unexpected death of a genetically highly valuable animal, for preserving endangered …

Ovine artificial insemination (OAI) is not commonly performed because of specific problems
related to semen application techniques, leading to highly variable results. The ideal …

The present study aimed to evaluate viability and in vitro fertilizing ability of cryopreserved
epididymal spermatozoa obtained from dead animals. To collect spermatozoa, epididymides …

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of prolonged cold storage of Iberian red
deer epididymides on post-thaw sperm characteristics. Thirty-seven pairs of testes, with …

Stress is associated with detrimental effects on male reproductive function. It is known that
stress increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the male reproductive tract …

We have carried out a study on the effect of postmortem time (PT) in some characteristics of
epididymal sperm salvaged from hunted Iberian red deer and roe deer. Testis were …
