The objectives of the present work were to evaluate the semen of dogs by means of proteomics methods and to compare with proteomics results of the blood of the animals, in order to increase available knowledge on the topic and present relevant reference values for semen samples. Semen samples were...

Within modern biotechnology, different tools and methodologies have been developed to maximize canine semen conservation protocol to optimize reproductive results. In the last decades, the survival of chilled semen has been prolonged from 2 to 3 days with the first basic diluents, to 10-14 days...

Characteristics of frozen sperm associated with fertility and aging have not been fully determined in dogs. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between fresh and post-thaw sperm quality, age, among the factors of motility, viability, morphology and oxidative stress in a group of ...

Resveratrol (RES) is known as a potent antioxidant, antinflammatory and antiaging agent and it isenriched in many types of food especially the berries. During the last decade, the petting of canine is demanded, but one of the barriers of increasing this tradition is getting the advisable breed....

Semen collection, semen evaluation and artificial insemination are essential skills for small animal practitioners. Semen collection was performed using digital manipulation technique among all the different breeds of dogs and several tests including macroscopic (semen volume, semen colour,...

This issue contains 48 articles on the haemato-biochemical and mineral alteration in adult diarrhoeic dairy animals infected with salmonellosis; biometry of morbid buck testicles and its correlation with epididymal semen quality; intramedullary implant fixation for management of diaphyseal...

Although semen analysis is routinely used to evaluate the male reproductive potential in the canine species, only a few authors have attempted to relate semen characteristics to donor traits, such as age or weight, and fertility. This study evaluated the effects of dogs' age (young: 0-24 months,...

This study aimed to test different doses of L-glutamine and trehalose in the canine semen diluent while determining their protective effects on spermatological and biochemical indices of the thawed samples. Semen samples were collected from three fertile dogs using the digital manipulation method....

Twenty dogs presented for breeding soundness evaluation were selected for the present study. Based on previous six month breeding history and semen quality, these animals were grouped retrospectively into fertile (n=6) and subfertile (n=14) groups. Three semen collections were made from each of...

This study aimed to compare the semen of young and senile dogs, through the evaluation of morphological and functional attributes, oxidative stress and quantification of advanced glycation ending products (AGEs); compare the seminal freezability of young and senile dogs and evaluate the effects of...
