Prediction of bull fertility is critical for the sustainability of both dairy and beef cattle
production. Even though bulls produce ample amounts of sperm with normal parameters …

Animal production and health are of significant economic importance, particularly regarding
the world food supply. Animal and veterinary sciences have evolved immensely in the past …

Spermatozoa need to undergo an exocytotic event called the acrosome reaction before
fusing with eggs. Although calcium ion (Ca2+) is essential for the acrosome reaction, its …

Cattle breeding approaches are an evolving field of research in veterinary science. Certain
factors such as Ejaculate Rejection Rate (ERR) pose a limitation to such approaches. In this …

Proteins assist sperm mature, transit the female reproductive tract, and recognise sperm
oocytes. Indigenous Indonesian bulls, Madura bulls, have not been studied for reproductive …

The study of the protein composition of semen (ie, spermatozoa and seminal plasma) is not
new. However, with development of proteomics technologies, our understanding of the roles …

Proteins play an important role in many reproductive functions such as sperm maturation,
sperm transit in the female genital tract or sperm-oocyte interaction. However, in general …

Simple Summary Seminal plasma is a complex secretion that is produced in various organs
of the male reproductive system. It is rich in proteins that play an essential role in the proper …

Buffalo is a dominant dairy animal in many agriculture-based economies. However, the poor
reproductive efficiency (low conception rate) of the buffalo bulls constrains the realization of …

Seminal plasma proteins are the major extrinsic factors that can modulate the sperm quality
and functions. The present study was carried out to compare the proteomic profiles of …
