this study aimed at determining the physico-morphological attributes, in vitrofertilityand their interrelationships in semen of sahiwal bulls. semen samples werecollected weekly for 6 weeks from ten mature sahiwal bulls divided randomly into 5 groups. the mean (±sem) of ejaculate volume (ml), mass activity (score 0-5), progressive sperm motility (%), sperm concentration (106/ml), live sperm (%)...

To study the seasonal variation in the characteristics of the Azarbaijani buffalo semen, three 2-4-year-oldbulls of Azarbaijani water buffaloes, kept in the Buffalo Breeding Center, in Urmia, northwest of Iran, wereselected. Semen samples were collected once a week for a period of one year using artificial vagina and abuffalo cow as a dummy. Semen volume, colour, pH and motility and spermatozoa...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the importance of environmental and genetic factors affecting semen quality; sperm volume (sv), sperm concentration (spco), total sperm (ts), fresh sperm motility (fsm), total fresh motile sperm (tfms), post thaw sperm motility (ptsm), total post thaw motile sperm (tptms), number of produced payout (npp), number of fresh motile sperm in each milt ejac...

objective: calpains are a family of ca 2+ dependent proteases. there is some evidence that calpains involved in fusion process that occurs between spermatozoa and the oocyte. the current study aimed to investigate the association of smoking with semen quality and µ-calpain level. materials and methods: this case-control study was conducted on 117 normospermia males  between june 2013 and march ...

Semen samples were collected from 1213 fertile men whose partners had a time-to-pregnancy (TTP) ≤12 months in Guangdong Province in Southern China, and semen parameters including semen volume, sperm concentration, total counts, motility, and morphology were evaluated according to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2010 guideline. All semen parameters analyzed were normal in ~62.2% of the total...
