Sperm heterogeneity creates challenges for successful artificial insemination. Seminal plasma (SP) surrounding sperm is an excellent source for detecting reliable non-invasive biomarkers of sperm quality. Here, we isolated microRNAs (miRNAs) from SP-derived extracellular vesicles (SP-EV) of boars...

Sperm cryopreservation maintains the diversities of porcine genetic resources and improves utilization efficiency of boar semen in artificial insemination practices. Freezability of boar semen presents remarkable differences among individuals. However, metabolic markers for boar semen freezability...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of dexamethasone (DEX) on chemotaxis and phagocytic activity of neutrophils for spermatozoa and semen quality of preserved boar semen. The different concentrations of dexamethasone were added to boar semen dilutions to detect its effects on the chemotaxis...

This study evaluated the effect of different single fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) protocols on gestation length, farrowing distribution (synchrony), and piglet performance. In Study 1, 866 sows were assigned to two groups: Multiple AI (n = 484) - multiple artificial insemination (AI) at ...
