Antimicrobials in Boar Semen Extenders – A Risk/Benefit Analysis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Boar semen is usually collected by the gloved hand method, allowing possibilities for bacterial contamination during the collection process as well as during the subsequent processing of the semen. Bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus spp., are found on the skin and mucosa of health animals as well as in the gut (e.g. enteric bacteria) and respiratory tract [1]. Personnel also represent a source of contamination for the semen. Moreover, environmental bacteria are found on surfaces and in the air in the processing laboratory, as well as in water for washing equipment, originating from water tanks and pipes.

Effects of long-term liquid commercial semen extender and storage time on the membrane quality of boar semen
The objective of this study was to assess the sperm membrane integrity in extended boar semen during storage time using specific spectrum laboratory methods. Boar semen was diluted with the long-term liquid commercial extenders Androhep (A), Androstar (AS), Androstar plus (AS+), LD and M III and was stored up to 96 h. The sperm membrane integrity was evaluated by motility, viable spermatozoa, s...
متن کاملEffect of storage in short--and long-term commercial semen extenders on the motility, plasma membrane and chromatin integrity of boar spermatozoa.
For artificial insemination (AI) in pigs, preservation of liquid boar semen at 16-20 degrees C is still common practice as sperm cryopreservation remains suboptimal in this species. To meet the different needs of the swine industry, several extenders have been developed to preserve semen in liquid form for short--and long-term storage. In the present study, three different commercial extenders ...
متن کاملState-of-the-art of boar sperm preservation in liquid and frozen state
Pig breeding is mainly conducted through Artificial Insemination (AI) in Western and developing countries. Apart from requiring specific catheters and trained staff, preserving boar semen in proper conditions is needed to ensure high reproductive performances. Although, at present, boar sperm may be preserved in liquid (15-17oC) or frozen states, more than 95% of AIs are conducted using liquid ...
متن کاملEffects of Long-term Commercial Extenders for Liquid Storage of Boar Semen
The objective of this study was to compare preservation ability of five long-term commercial semen extenders by means of spermatozoa long-term thermo-resistance survival test. Ejaculates from 21 fertile boars were collected by hand method. Semen gel free volume, motility, viability, sperm concentration, total morphologically abnormal spermatozoa and total number of spermatozoa per ejaculate wer...
متن کاملEffect of commercial long-term extenders on metabolic activity and membrane integrity of boar spermatozoa stored at 17oC
This study was aimed to analyze the metabolic activity and membrane integrity of boar spermatozoa following storage in long-term semen extenders. Boar semen was diluted with Androhep EnduraGuard (AeG), DILU-Cell (DC), SafeCell Plus (SCP) and Vitasem LD (VLD) extenders and stored for 10 days at 17C. Parameters of the analyzed sperm metabolic activity included total motility (TMOT), progressive m...
