Effects of COQ10 with vitamin E supplementation on semen quality and seminal plasma parameters of broiler breeder males

Onm-2: Effect of Antioxidant Supplementation Like Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E and ?-Carotene Supplementation on Semen Quality and Biochemical Parameters

Role of seminal plasma in heat stress infertility of broiler breeder males.

The present research was undertaken to determine the role of seminal plasma in heat stress (HS) infertility. Males were exposed to HS at 32 C or maintained at 21 C as controls. Centrifugation and reconstitution of semen samples created four final treatments: control sperm + control plasma (CsCp), control sperm + HS plasma (CsHp), HS sperm + HS plasma (HsHp), and HS sperm + control plasma (HsCp)...

Comparative study of semen traits and histomorphometric features of testes ‎of broiler breeder males with different phenotypic traits

Fertility reduction due to sub-fertile males is a major concern in breeder flocks. Phenotypic traits of broiler breeder males and their relationships with fertility can be used as reliable indicators for identification and removal of sub-fertile males from the breeder flocks. This study was conducted to investigate semen traits (semen volume, sperm motility, sperm viability and sperm count) and...

The Effect of Dietary Supplementation with Organic and Inorganic Selenium on Quality of Frozen-Thawed Semen in Broiler Breeder Cockerel under Oxidative Stress with Dexamethasone

The present study was performed to investigate the effects of dietary organic and inorganic selenium on the quality of frozen-thawed semen of broiler breeder cockerel under oxidative stress. In this experiment, a total of 24, 28-week-old Ross 308 cockerels were allocated into 4 treatments each of which had 6 birds, in a completely randomized design. Experimental groups were: 1) control group (C...

Correlations between seminal plasma enzyme activities and semen parameters in seminal fluid of Arabian horses

The objective of this study was to investigate aspartate-amino-transferase (AST), γ-glutamyl-transferase(GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (AcP) activities andsemen parameters (volume, pH, concentration, total sperm number (TSN), progressive motility, dead sperm,total morphological defect (TMD) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST)) in seminal pl...
