The Use of Partial Least Square (PLS) to Explore the Importance of Sperm Characteristics in the Prediction of Bull Fertility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Even though a practical in vitro semen assay for determining bull fertility would be of great benefit to reproductive programs [6], it is unlikely that the evaluation of a single sperm characteristic may reflect the real sperm fertilization capacity of a semen sample. Hence, finding a set of sperm characteristics considered important for predicting conception rate would be a useful method of monitoring and/or predicting the sire fertility [16].

متن کاملSpermatozoa Molecules in Relation to Bulls Fertility
Bull fertility may be defined as the process by which spermatozoa fertilize and activate the ovum and then support embryonic development. Bull fertility is a complex trait having relatively low heritability and plays a vital role for efficient production and reproduction of bovine. Various mechanisms involved in regulating bull fertility associated phenotype and reliable biomarkers are poorly d...
