This article includes supporting data regarding the research article entitled "Concentration dependent effect of dimethylacetamide and N-methylacetamide on the quality and fertility of cryopreserved chicken semen" (Zaniboni et al., 2022). The effect of two permeant-cryoprotectants (CPA),...

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of melatonin (MLT), reduced glutathione (GSH) and vitamin E (Vit. E) or their combinations on semen cryopreservation of Mediterranean buffalo. The quality parameters such as viability, abnormality rate, motility, structural integrity and the...

Natural products was the source of many important biological activities against human and animal pathogens. Propolis was one of these substances, produced by bees from resins and wax. In this study, D-optimal experimental design used to optimize operational condition of propolis extraction, and...

The standardization of procedures for the post-collection management of semen samples is a prerequisite for the development of husbandry techniques, as well as for the use of semen in laboratory research. Despite the relevance of the sea urchin Sphaerechinus granularis as a laboratory model, the...

Despite its importance in gamete utilization for livestock production, poultry semen cryopreservation in a liquid state, is limited in the poultry industry due to a significant decline in sperm viability and functionality during liquid storage. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is released from...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of antifreeze protein type III (AFP III) on the freezing of epididymal spermatozoa of goats. A total of 16 pairs of testicles were collected in a slaughterhouse and transported at approximately 5°C in a thermal box. Epididymal spermatozoa were...

In oocyte cryopreservation programs, vitrification has overthrown conventional slow freezing both in veterinary and human medicine. In animals, its feasibility in field conditions makes it the preferred technique for the safeguard of genetic resources from zoo or wild animals, including threatened...

Instrumental insemination of queen bees using cryopreserved sperm is an important biotechnological tool to address the issues of contemporary beekeeping. Long-term cryopreservation is detrimental to sperm function and drone fertility, killing more than 50% of the sperm during the process....

In contrast to the livestock industry, sperm cryopreservation has not yet been successfully established in the poultry industry. This is because poultry sperm cells have a unique shape and membrane fluidity, differing from those of livestock sperm. The objective of this review is to discuss the...
