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 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...

Sperm preservation is an efficient technique used for the recovery, conservation, and management of some endangered fish species. The present study was conducted to explore how preservation time would affect sperm and spawning performance in the endangered delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus)....

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...

Six ejaculates from each three adult stallions were collected via artificial vagina using estrus jenny as dummy. Caffeine was added to semen extender at 0.1, 0.5 and 2 mM during pre-freeze stage and cryopreserved by following standard protocol. The sperm kinetic parameters, membrane functionality...

Globally there is growing demand for small ruminant production especially, goats for meat and milk purposes to feed the ever-increasing human population. Earlier goat breeding was generally practised by natural mating; but now artificial inseminations (AI) with elite buck semen are well in demand...

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...
