Although the basic principles controlling the sex of mammalian offspring have been known
for a relatively long time, recent application of certain modern cellular methodologies has led …

Sperm quality in insemination doses is known to affect pregnancy rates following artificial
insemination (AI) in a number of animal species. Furthermore, biotechnologies such as in …

Contents The current technology to sort X and Y chromosome bearing sperm population
requires individual identification and selection of spermatozoa in a modified high‐speed …

Modern biotechnologies are used extensively in the animal breeding industry today.
Therefore, it is essential that sperm handling procedures do not modulate the normal …

Artificial insemination (AI) is critical for breeding in the dairy industry. High-merit bulls can
present low freezability, hampering genetic dissemination. Thawed semen can be improved …

Bull fertility is an important trait in breeding as the semen of one bull can, potentially, be
used to perform thousands of inseminations. The high number of inseminations needed to …

Seminal plasma removal is routine in goat sperm cryopreservation protocols. The classical
washing procedure designed to accomplish this usually leaves the pellet resulting from use …

The aims of this study were to examine the role of transcription and the coincident
involvement of type I and type II protein kinase A (PKA) in the resumption of meiosis in …

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of semen diluent on calving rate (CR) following
artificial insemination with liquid bull semen stored for up to 3 d postcollection. In experiment …

Several hundred thousand offspring of preselected sex of various species have been born
since sperm sexing technology based on flow cytometric sorting of X-and Y-chromosome …
