In this study, the quantitative and qualitative traits of semen were studied in seven rams of different breeds (Prolific Merino, Cokanski Tsigai, Barbados Blackbelly, Bábolna Tetra, Awassi, Ile de France and Suffolk), bred in Hungary. The semen parameters (density, volume, pH, mass motility, % motility, thawing and heat resistance), freezability of semen and the factors influencing these parame...

Ex situ preservation is an important method in the of chickens, and cryopreservation semen only for gamete at present. During last two decades, many studies have been performed to develop standard chicken technology achieve great progress. Many attempts methods were investigated adapt subspecies or different breeds. In this paper, we firstly reviewed main factors affecting sperm, including uniq...

Background: Plasma membrane of the spermatozoa interacts with and is altered by abundant seminal PDC-109 present in their immediate milieu in vivo with damaging effect in a time- and concentration- dependent manner. Therefore we hypothesized that sequestration of detrimental protein from ejaculates would be beneficial for cryopreservation of sperm cells. To this aim we evaluated the effect of s...
