Five healthy buffalo bulls (5 ejaculates from each bul...

Background: In mammalian spermatozoa, motility is one of the most important parameters for evaluating the quality of the semen. From a functional point of view, motility is strongly related to the spermatozoa’s ability to manage its energy status, Thus, modulation of energy status could be translated into significant changes in motility patterns. The aim of the present study was to evaluate xyl...

Bull fertility may be defined as the process by which spermatozoa fertilize and activate the ovum and then support embryonic development. Bull fertility is a complex trait having relatively low heritability and plays a vital role for efficient production and reproduction of bovine. Various mechanisms involved in regulating bull fertility associated phenotype and reliable biomarkers are poorly d...
