Background: ROS production is a well-established phenomenon during sperm cryopreservation. Therefore, supplementation of freezing media with antioxidant is an inevitable event. The aim of this study was to assess whether a cell permeable superoxide dismutase agent such as MnTE, can further improve the quality of frozen/ thawed semen sample using a commercially optimized sperm cryopreservation m...

Background and Aim: The Kacang goat (Capra hircus) is an indigenous livestock species in Indonesia that at risk of extinction due to cross-breeding. Artificial insemination (AI) techniques are expected increase the population these goats. This study aimed determine addition epigallocatechin-3-gallate chitosan nanoparticles (EGCG CNPs) skim mi...

Cryopreservation of goat spermatozoa is a valuable tool for genetic management. Previous studies have shown the frezeeablity of spermatozoa from various goat breeds but also have difficulties with available protocols. Therefore, we want to investigate the effects of centrifugation and different egg yolk ratios (5% and 10%) on spermatological parameters of Norduz goat spermatozoa. A total number...

Introduction We received a request from the owner of a communal flock of indigenous goats in the Northern Province to inseminate some of his does with Gorno Altai semen. The only income he derived from this flock was through the sale of live goats at Christmas. He wanted to embark on a cross-breeding programme in an attempt to create an additional source of income from the fibre that would pote...

The effect of subcutaneous injections of vitamin C on the seminal characteristics of Markhoz bucks (2–4-year-old) was studied. The bucks, trained to serve an artificial vagina, were randomly allotted into three equal groups (n = 4) and received daily either zero (1 mL normal saline; control group), or 20 (VitC20 group) or 40 (VitC40 group) mg per kg body weight vitamin C from July 06, 2006 to O...
