The accurate prediction of male fertility is of major economic importance in the animal
breeding industry. However, the results of conventional semen analysis do not always …

Pig breeding is mainly conducted through artificial insemination with liquid-stored semen. It
is, therefore, crucial to ensure that sperm quality is over the standard thresholds, as reduced …

Male infertility is a widespread health problem affecting approximately 6%–8% of the male
population, and hypoxia may be a causative factor. In mammals, two types of hypoxia are …

Infertility affects a significant number of couples worldwide and its incidence is increasing.
While assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have revolutionized the treatment …

Introduction Since boar spermatozoa show a marked deterioration in sperm quality when
cooled, insemination doses are usually stored at 16–18° C. However, maintaining this …

In this study, the complexity of chromatin integrity was investigated in frozen‐thawed semen
samples from 37 sires with contrasting fertility, expressed as 56‐day non‐return rates …

Materials and Methods: The semen production capacity of each bull was collected from
frozen semen production data at the Singosari AI Center for 6 months, and was then divided …

A combined Genotyping By Sequencing (GBS) and methylated DNA immunoprecipitation
(MeDIP) protocol was used to identify—in parallel—genetic variation (Genomic-Wide …

Purpose To evaluate the association between the DNA methylation of specific genes and
sperm DNA integrity status in human sperm samples. Methods A total of 166 semen samples …

Purpose To determine associations between genomic DNA methylation in testicular cells
and azoospermia in human males. Methods This was a case-control study investigating the …
