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),...

During the fertilization process, the interaction between the sperm and the oocyte is mediated by a process known as acrosomal exocytosis (AE). Although the role of the sperm acrosome on fertilization has been studied extensively over the last 70 years, little is known about the molecular...

Dog breeders often require breeding soundness evaluations which include andrological examinations of the genital organs, hormone measurements, and semen analyses. During the past decades, a considerable number of research results have been published, allowing diagnoses of specific andrological...

The influence of the housing system on sperm productivity and reproductive capacity of rabbits was studied. Indicators like ejaculate volume, sperm density, activity, and concentration, as well as the percentage of fertility were measured for silver breed rabbits of three coloured lines housed in...

Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is one of the most abundant chaperone proteins. Their function is well documented in facilitating the protein synthesis, translocation, de novo folding, and ordering of multiprotein complexes. HSP70 in bovine consists of four genes: HSP70-1, HSP70-2, HSP70-3, and ...

The article presents the results of a study of the reproductive qualities of boars-producers of different directions of productivity and breed. It has been established that the breed is one of the main biotic factors affecting the reproductive qualities of boars. Between the breeds there is a...

The production cost of chicks of preparental and parental flocks depends on the output of eggs suitable for incubation as well as egg fertility, the latter depending on the internal egg quality (predetermined by females) and reproductive performance of males. Maternal preparental lines of new...

Practical relevance: Understanding the normal reproductive anatomy and physiology of the male cat is important for successful breeding. Veterinarians may be called in to troubleshoot when fertility and pregnancy rates decrease in a cattery. By understanding the normal physical parameters, as well...

The negative effects of seasonality on ram fertility during the spring months (non-breeding season) can be addressed by administration of melatonin. Slow-release implants containing 18 mg of melatonin are available to improve reproductive responses in ewes but as far as we are aware nobody has...

Linear type traits are easily measurable phenotypic characteristics that help breed characterization, selection of animals for breeding and found to be associated with animals' performance. Unlike cows, there have been limited studies linking body linear traits with male reproductive ability and...
