Background: The application of laparoscopic method for intrauterine insemination is limited in sheep industry by the high cost of equipment and low pregnancy rate of frozen-thawed spermatozoa. Both disadvantages could be decreased if chilled ram semen is transported to the farms and inseminated through cervix. Semen extender provides the requirements for sperm and affects its motility, viabilit...

An alternative approach for the electron microscopical examination of undecalcified human bone was investigated. The method required bone to be chilled to -70 degrees C, sectioned at 10 microns in a special bone cryostat, and these sections to be fixed and embedded for ultrathin sectioning. Good preservation of bone cells was seen. The advantages of this method are that it allows numerous parti...

Background: The importance of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on chilled sperm quality is under investigation. Addition of fatty acids to the diet can influence sperm quality and male fertilizing capacity. The aim of this study was to investigate if the addition of n-3 PUFAs improves quality of bovine chilled sperm. Materials and Methods: In order to do experiment, 5 proven bulls were rando...

Although dog was the first species to be used for Artificial Insemination (AI) and become pregnant by Spallanzani in 1776, very little work has been done on preservation of dog semen to exploit the full genetic potential of pedigree males. Frozen semen is now inseminated routinely in cattle, sheep and goats and much research has been carried out with regard to the optimum conditions for its use...

Marinated broiler breast fillets were evaluated using both air- and immersion-chilling treatments. Ninety fillets from air-chilled broiler carcasses and 90 fillets from immersion-chilled broiler carcasses were obtained from a processor to determine differences in meat quality, sensory, and shelf life. At 24 h postmortem, the fillets were vacuum-tumbled (25 in Hg, 30 min, 14 rpm, 4 degrees C) in...

Methanol is a widely used cryoprotectant (CPA) in cryopreservation of fish embryos, however little is known about its effect at the molecular level. This study investigated the effect of methanol on sox gene and protein expression in zebrafish embryos (50% epiboly) when they were chilled for 3 h and subsequently warmed and cultured to the hatching stages. Initial experiments were carried out to...
