Reproduction is fundamental for all living things as it ensures the continued existence of a
species and an improved economy in animal husbandry. Reproduction has developed since …

In addition to the paternal genome, spermatozoa carry several intrinsic factors, including
organelles (eg, centrioles and mitochondria) and molecules (eg, proteins and RNAs), which …

The study was to focus on the relationship between wave motion (mass sperm motility,
measured by a mass sperm motility score, manually assessed by artificial insemination (AI) …

Predicting in vivo fertility of bull ejaculates using in vitro–assessed semen quality criteria
remains challenging for the breeding industry. New technologies such as computer-assisted …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production above critical levels affects the genetic and
functional integrity of spermatozoa by causing oxidative stress. Spermatozoa are susceptible …

Semen fertilizing potential is dependent upon the morphological, functional and molecular
attributes of sperm. Sperm microRNAs (miRNAs) were recently shown to hold promise …

Seasonal fluctuations of climate are considered a major factor affecting spermatogenesis
and semen quality in the bovine. Our study aimed to investigate the effect of season on …

With the term “assisted reproduction technologies” in modern cattle farming, one could imply
the collection of techniques that aim at the optimal use of bovine gametes to produce …

Standard sperm evaluation parameters do not enable predicting their ability to survive
cryopreservation. Mitochondria are highly prone to suffer injuries during freezing, and any …

The study aimed at the analysis of the functional status of cryopreserved bovine sperm using
multicolor flow cytometry. The value of sperm functional traits as predictors of bull fertility was …
