In pig production, the optimization of artificial insemination (AI) efficiency significantly relies
on the accurate assessment of semen quality and fertility of boars. Traditional methods such …

Whether basal metabolic activity in sperm has any influence on their fertilising capacity has
not been explored. Using the pig as a model, the present study investigated the relationship …

Metabolomics can allow for the comprehensive identification of metabolites within biological
systems, at given time points, in physiological and pathological conditions. In the last few …

Boar ejaculate is composed of sperm cells and seminal plasma (SP) and is emitted in
different fractions (pre-sperm fraction; spermatic-rich fraction; intermediate fraction; post …

Our previous study has demonstrated that administration of ginsenoside Rg3 ameliorates
immune stress by inhibiting inflammatory responses, reducing oxidative damage and …

Seminal plasma (SP) is not a pre-requisite for pregnancy. Yet, this heterogeneous,
composite SP has proven relevant for fertility, as mediator for cell-to-cell communication …

Previous research revealed that several seminal plasma (SP) metabolites are related to
sperm functionality, fertility, and preservation. While it is understood that variations between …

In chondrichthyans, despite males in ex situ conservation programs exhibiting good sperm
quality, offspring production is confined to specific species. This study hypothesizes that the …

Seminal plasma composition has important role in sperm functionality and its freezability.
The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that seminal plasma (SP) oxidative …

The Yorkshire pigs, renowned for their remarkable growth rate, low feed conversion ratio
(FCR), and high meat production, emerge as a novel preference for paternal breeding. In …
