The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of in vitro supplementation of selenium on fresh and frozen spermatozoa quality of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bulls. Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bull) were used. Each ejaculate was diluted at 37 ˚C with tris-based extender containing 0 (control), 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 8 μg mL-1 sodium selenite and the sperm motility and...

semen collection evaluation and addition of preservatives to increase storage period of sperm are essential for successful artificial insemination. this study was conducted on 4rams (2 ghezel merinos and 2 merinos moghani) to evaluate the effect of two diluents in khalatposhan research station. average age of rams was 3 years. rams were trained to serve the artificial insemination and semen sam...

Background: Semen cryopreservation is the most important section of artificial insemination programs; it allows preservation of semen fertility for a long time. Materials and Methods: The aim of the present study was to detect the effect of in vitro supplementation of 4-hydroxy Tempo on fresh and frozen spermatozoa quality of buffalo bulls. Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bul...

Characteristics of buffalo semen, diluents used for liquid storage, aspects involved in freezing and thawing of semen are reviewed, and fertility results after artificial insemination (AI) with frozen-thawed semen are given.

The aim of the present study was to determine the conception rate and litter size in sows after fixed time intra-uterine insemination using frozen-thawed boar semen in a commercial swine herd in Thailand. Sixty-nine Landrace multiparous sows were randomly allocated into two groups, including control (n=36) and treatment (n=33). The control sows were inseminated with extended fresh semen (3 × 10...

This experiment wascarried out to explore the effect of use of combinations of permeating cryoprotectant and non permeating cryoprotectant on thequality of frozen-thawed Beluga (Huso huso) spermas compared to the use of permeating cryoprotectant as a control. For this work methanol (MeOH) and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)are used aspermeatingcryoprotectantsand bovine serum albuminas a non permeatin...

Background: Frozen-thawed rooster semen is not reliable for use in artificial insemination in commercial stocks. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been assessed for effectiveness as a cryoprotectant in the extender to improve the quality of frozen-thawed rooster semen. Although LDL has been evaluated in a few studies in other species for semen cryopreservation, to date, no study has been conduc...
