Seasonal changes in reproductive activity, sperm variables and sperm freezability in Blanca Andaluza bucks
Interest in the preservation of endangered breeds such as the Blanca Andaluza goat, has increased and some steps should be therefore taken to ensure it. The study was designed to determine the seasonal reproductive pattern of Blanca Andaluza bucks, and whether this affects the quality of their semen and its freezability over the year. Seven bucks were used and their body weight, testicular weig...
متن کاملSperm Flagellum Volume Determines Freezability in Red Deer Spermatozoa
The factors affecting the inter-individual differences in sperm freezability is a major line of research in spermatology. Poor sperm freezability is mainly characterised by a low sperm velocity, which in turn is associated with low fertility rates in most animal species. Studies concerning the implications of sperm morphometry on freezability are quite limited, and most of them are based on spe...
متن کاملSperm transcriptome profiling for assessment of boar semen freezability
In this project transcriptome analysis on highthroughput RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) data of boar spermatozoa will be utilized to identify novel genetic markers associated with semen freezability. Three boars each with poor and good semen freezability will be subjected to transcriptome studies on sperm RNA-seq data, and in combination with bioinformatics screening, will select candidate genes asso...
متن کاملSperm Vacuoles and Reproductive Outcome
It is estimated that the male factor contributes to half of the infertility in couples attending for assisted reproductive techniques (ART). Therefore the semen analysis remains the starting point to evaluate main causes of infertility and in case of oligospermic semen the assessment of sperm morphology may help to choose the best spermatozoon to use for the intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IC...
متن کاملSperm morphology and reproductive success
fertilization potential, decisions on how to improve sperm morphology remain difficult to address. Smoking, alcohol consumption, caffeine intake and drug use can affect fertility; however, a conclusive connection between these factors and sperm morphology has not been demonstrated. Furthermore, use of dietary supplements and vitamins has not been shown to directly affect sperm morphology. While...
