Fertility Higher with Pooled Duroc Semen than with Semen from One Boar
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The aim of this trial was to investigate the fertility of semen doses that contain sperm from either one, three or six Duroc boars. The trial was conducted on five different farms where sows were randomly assigned to three different groups: Group 1: Sows were inseminated with semen doses containing sperm from one boar. Group 2: Sows were inseminated with semen doses containing sperm from three boars. Group 3: Sows were inseminated with semen doses containing sperm from six boars. Results revealed that when the semen dose contained sperm from several boars, litter size – measured as total born piglets – increased by 0.3 piglets compared with doses containing sperm from just one boar.

Comparison of Motility, Acrosome, Viability and ATP of Boar Sperm with or without Cold Shock Resistance in Liquid Semen at 17°C and 4°C, and Frozen-thawed Semen
This study was designed to analyze boar sperm to compare motility, acrosome morphology, viability and ATP by various preservation methods between Duroc boar A with cold shock resistance sperm and Duroc boar B with cold shock sensitivity sperm. Semen volume, sperm concentration, motility and normal acrosome between Duroc boar A and B did not show any differences within 2 h after collection. Ther...
متن کاملEffect on fertility of sperm motility in pooled Duroc semen
Sperm with reduced motility has reduced fertilizing capacity. If low-motile Duroc sperm is mixed with high-motile sperm, the fertilizing capacity of that dose is equal to semen doses exclusively containing high-motile Duroc sperm. With doses that only contained low-motile sperm, the number of total born piglets per litter dropped by minimum 0.5. Duroc boars were selected on the basis of the per...
متن کاملAssociation of heat shock protein 70 with semen quality in boars.
This study attempted to clarify the relationship between the levels of 70kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) and semen quality in boars. Semen samples from 29 (13 Duroc, 9 Landrace, and 7 Yorkshire) boars (mean age=25.2+/-2.2 months) were examined. Three to four ejaculates per boar, collected during cool and hot seasons, were evaluated in terms of the sperm concentration, sperm motility, percentage ...
متن کاملImplications of the pH and temperature of diluted, cooled boar semen on fresh and frozen-thawed sperm motility characteristics.
Boar semen is typically collected, diluted and cooled for AI use over numerous days, or frozen immediately after shipping to capable laboratories. The storage temperature and pH of the diluted, cooled boar semen could influence the fertility of boar sperm. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of pH and storage temperature on fresh and frozen-thawed boar sperm motili...

Background Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) is known to protect boar sperm during freezing–thawing, but little information is known about the effects of LDL extracted from different avian egg yolks on post-thaw boar semen quality. The purpose of this study was to compare and analyze the effects of LDL at various concentrations and different species on boar sperm quality after freezing–thawing. Ma...
