Seminal plasma (SP) is a complex biological fluid including multiple secretions of male
reproductive glands and a smaller amount of epidydimal secretions. Advances in …

The optimization and implementation of artificial insemination (AI) in sheep is necessary to
increase the livestock productivity through enhanced control of reproductive function. Sperm …

Failure of cervical insemination with cryopreserved semen is hindering implementation of AI
in sheep in field condition. Here the effect of equilibration time and catalase on post-thaw …

Wider implementation of AI in sheep in the field condition has not been possible till date due
to very poor conception rate after cervical insemination with cryopreserved semen. Poor …

Background Centrifugation is routinely employed in handling the ejaculates of some
species, but it is not part of the commonly used protocols in ram. However, the development …

Ovine cysteine-rich secretory protein 1 (CRISP-1) is an acidic glycoprotein of epididymal
origin under CRISP, antigen 5, pathogenesis-related protein 1 (CAP) super-family. The aim …

Mammalian sperm remain quiescent but fertile for several weeks in cauda epididymis.
Although several sperm quiescent factors of epididymal plasma have been identified in goat …

Due to malnutrition and inadequate management practices, anestrus is frequently observed
in domestic animal species, particularly in rural areas. This financially crippling condition in …

Cauda epididymis in mammals is known to store mature sperm largely in quiescent state for
several weeks without significantly affecting fertility. Hence, the aim of this study was to …

[ES] La optimización de la inseminación artificial (AI) en la especie ovina es fundamental
para aumentar su implementación, incrementando así los rendimientos productivos y la …
