A study was conducted to investigate the various glycerol concentrations on freezability of mithun semen. The present study was conducted in semen production laboratory, ICAR-NRC on Mithun, Medziphema, Nagaland, India. A total of 20 ejaculates were collected from apparently healthy mithun bulls (n=6) by trans-rectal massage method. These ejaculates were extended with tris–egg yolk-citrate-glyce...

This study was conducted to assess the post thaw quality of Kundhi buffalo semen diluted in tris based diluents. After collection the ejaculates were pooled and checked for color, volume, pH, mass activity, progressive linear motility% (PLM), and intactness of cell membrane. The semen qualifying these tests was divided into four aliquots A, B, C and D, diluted with tris based diluents; the last...

The market value of coffee is strongly influenced by loss quality, which makes storage one the main steps in entire production chain. finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are numerical techniques that facilitate simulation agricultural product systems. Computational modeling satisfactorily represents real experimentation, simplifies decision-making, reduces costs. ...

Experiments were conducted to determine the effect of hypothermic 24 h storage on striped bass sperm cell plasma membrane integrity, free intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)), mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨ(m)), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation (oxidation of hydroethidine to ethidium) as determined by flow cytometry; motion activation and ATP concentration as determined by Lucife...

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of soybean lecithin (SL) and virgin coconut oil (VCO) in Tris-based extender on chilled and frozen-thawed bull semen quality parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 ejaculates were collected from four bulls via an electroejaculator. Semen samples were diluted with 2% VCO in Tris-based extender whic...
