because of a paucity of information on the effect of satureja khuzistanica in male chickens, this study was undertaken to determine the influence of dietary s. khuzistanica powder (skp) on seminal characteristics and testes thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (tbars) content in iranian native breeder rooster. thirty-six 40-week-old roosters were randomly allotted to 3 equal groups and recei...

Chronic bacterial prostatitis (CBP) is caused by bacterial infection and maintains a condition of lower urinary tract infection. It may be a cause of male infertility. However, studies showed inconsistent results regarding the effect of CBP on several parameters of semen. Hence, we conducted a meta-analysis to examine the effect of CBP on basic semen parameters. A systematic review was conducte...

semen analysis, sperm dna fragmentation (sdf) and hypo-osmotic swelling test (host) are usually performed for the evaluation of sperm fertilizing ability. there are some debates over the necessity of sdf and host incorporation in male infertility work-up.semen of 77 men was evaluated by sdf and host through three semen analyses. sperm parameters were arranged into different categories: < 5%, 5-...

in order to determine iron and lead content of seminal plasma in water buffalo and to study their associations with the semen characteristics, 54 semen samples were collected from 10 buffalo bulls. the semen characteristics were evaluated; its iron and lead content were estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. the iron and lead content of the seminal plasma (mean ± sem) was recorded as...

The aim of this study was to use biochemical markers to evaluate the quality of fresh and cryopreserved semen from the arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus). Twenty-three manually collected ejaculates were analysed for the main indicators of semen quality (sperm concentration and ejaculate volume). Sperm motility and percentage of morphologically normal and abnormal spermatozoa were determined according ...

Semen production data from an Austrian AI centre collected between 2000 and 2004 were analysed. In total, 12,746 ejaculates from 301 AI bulls were examined considering different effects on ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, percentage of viable spermatozoa in the ejaculate, total spermatozoa per ejaculate and motility. The model included the fixed effects of age of bull, collection interval...

Indonesia has two National Artificial Insemination Centers (AIC) and more than 15 Regional (RAIC) spread across several provinces. Bulls in the AIC must have a high libido produce good quality semen. This study examines correlation between with semen testosterone concentration to determine potential frozen production from Bali bulls South Sulawesi RAIC. Ten bull were used this study. Semen coll...

This study investigated the correlation between sperm motion parameters obtained by a computer-assisted semen analyzer and levels of reactive oxygen species in unwashed semen. In total, 847 patients, except for azoospermic patients were investigated. At the time of each patient's first consultation, semen parameters were measured using SMAS™ or CellSoft 3000™, and production of reactive oxygen ...
