Post-thaw boar sperm motility is affected by prolonged storage of sperm in liquid nitrogen

The fact that the major phenotypic characteristic of boar spermatozoa, motility, is constrained by time of cryostorage should be considered when building cryobanks of pig semen.

Abstract

Sperm DNA integrity in Landrace and Duroc boar semen and its relationship to litter size

Sperm DNA integrity in semen with good motility and morphology may be an additional prediction parameter for fertility in pigs.

Abstract

A comparison between nulliparous and multiparous sows cervix with regard to post-cervical AI

The future design of AI strategies and catheters should take into consideration the morphological variations of the cervix lumen, which will depend on age and parity of the females.

Abstract

Absence of seminal plasma from sperm-rich fraction decreases boar sperm quality characteristics

The seminal plasma from the sperm-rich fraction is important for the maintenance of adequate structural and functional characteristics of extended liquid boar semen.

Abstract

Impact of light irradiation on preservation and function of mammalian spermatozoa

Mounting evidence indicates that light irradiation of mammalian spermatozoa (and of other animal species) increases their motility, capacitation and fertilizing ability, without causing any damage on the DNA.

Abstract

Sperm membrane proteins associated with the boar semen cryopreservation

Boars sperm membrane proteins may explain differences in semen cryopreservation success, serving as freezability markers.

Abstract

The effect of age, interval collection and season on selected semen parameters and prediction of AI boars productivity

The possibility of planning the production level has a special importance for AI stations, and its inaccuracy should be minimized by eliminating the factors differentiating the quantity and quality of the ejaculate.
