Contents Motility is one of the most important characteristics associated with the fertilizing
ability of spermatozoa and is an expression of their viability and structural integrity …

Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) allows assessing the motility of individual
spermatozoa, generating huge datasets. These datasets can be analyzed using data mining …

The aims of the present study were:(1) to determine the existence of sperm subpopulations
with specific motility characteristics in fresh ejaculates from Holstein bulls,(2) to investigate …

Geographical barriers to breeding animals have long been reduced because of possibilities
of semen transportation. In modern cattle breeding, where artificial insemination (AI) is the …

Our ability to screen the structural and functional integrity of the spermatozoon in vitro has
increased markedly over the past decades, but our capacity to estimate the fertility of a …

The objective of this work was to look for useful predictive indicators of the potentially “good”
or “poor” ability of a boar ejaculate to sustain cryopreservation by assessing both the …

The objectives of this study was to compare the effects of type and concentration of
cryoprotectants glycerol (G), ethylene glycol (EG) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the …

The study evaluated the protective effect of seminal plasma (SP) added to freezing extender
against cryopreservation injuries to boar spermatozoa. Pooled sperm‐rich fractions …

Sperm motility is one of the most widely used parameters of sperm quality. Computer-aided
sperm motility analysis (CASA-Mot) systems were developed to reduce the subjectivity of …

Modern pig production is vertically integrated, with breeding done through AI. This firstline,
easy, practical and highly effective biotechnology serves two major purposes (i) avoid …
