Application of sexed semen technology to in vitro embryo production in cattle.
Use of sexed semen in conjunction with in vitro embryo production is a potentially efficient means of obtaining offspring of predetermined sex. For thousands of years, livestock owners have desired a methodology to predetermine the sex of offspring for their herds. The ability to sort individual sperm cells into viable X- and Y-chromosome-bearing fractions made producers' sex selection dreams r...
متن کاملSexed Semen Economics

Because of its higher cost per dose of semen, combined with a reduced conception risk, sexed semen is primarily recommended for use in virgin heifers. The use of sexed semen varies widely among dairy producers. Som...
متن کاملEffect of insemination-related factors on pregnancy rate using sexed semen in Holstein heifers
The objectives were to determine the effects of insemination with sexed semen at spontaneous and induced estrus, fixed-time insemination at synchronized estrus, the deposition site, estrous intensity, housing, age, body weight, and bull on the pregnancy rate in Holstein heifers, and to compare the quality traits of sexed sperm with those of unsexed semen. The study was conducted on 3206 heifers...

The effects of herd size, semen type, generation overlapping and breeding goal on genetic gain in Holstein cows were studied through stochastic simulation. Three levels of herd size (100, 200, and 400), two levels of semen type (unsexed and sexed), three levels of generation overlapping (low, average and high) and two levels of breeding goal (narrow and broad) were combined together to make 36 ...
متن کاملPuberty in beef bulls: acrosome morphology and semen quality in bulls of different breeds.
Semen characteristics were evaluated every 2 wk from 7 through 13 mo of age in 31 beef bulls representing six breed groups (Hereford, Angus, Hereford x Angus crossbreeds, Angus x Hereford crossbreds, Red Poll and Brown Swiss). Breeds differed in age at puberty, defined as the age at which an ejaculate was first obtained that contained a minimum of 50 x 10(6) total spermatozoa with at least 10% ...
