Evaluation of spermiogram in domestic pigs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A microscopic assessment was used to estimate sperm morphological structure in 405 ejaculates from 70 boars according to Blom classification. The classification of spermiogram quality according to a new 6-degree scale was also established. We found, that male spermiograms in domestic pigs were characterized by a large variability both between and within breeds. The estimation of semen quality, only with regard to the mean frequency of occurrence of particular morphological forms of spermatozoa, was not effective for evaluation of individual boar or group of boars. However, the method was effective to evaluate individual ejaculates. The quality classification of the spermiogram enabled to evaluate usefulness of ejaculates graded as good and average for insemination. Reproductive Biology 2006 6 Suppl. 2:93–98.

Evaluation the Efficacy of Anthrax Vaccine against Challenge with a Highly Virulent Strain of Bacillus anthracis Isolated from Soil in Sheep, Goats and Guinea Pigs in Iran
Protection of animals immunized against Bacillus anthracis is usually demonstrated by challenging with an appropriate dose of a strain of Bacillus anthracis that is lethal to unvaccinated animals inoculated at the same time. In this study the protective efficacy in anthrax vaccine (34F2 sterne strain spore) was evaluated in sheep, goats and guinea pigs challenged with subcutaneous inoculation...

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severely contagious viral disease that mainly affects cloven-hoofedlivestock and wildlife. This study quantifies the cytokines mRNA expression of vaccinated guinea pigs withFMD type O inactivated vaccine. Blood samples were collected from eight guinea pigs at 7 and 28 days after thefirst vaccination. Extracted mRNAs were reverse-transcribed into cDNA and analyz...
