Cryopreservation of spermatozoa is becoming more important because of new clinical
requirements and current clinical practice. Despite the success of sperm cryopreservation …

Use of artificial insemination (AI) for breeding pigs has been instrumental for facilitating
global improvements in fertility, genetics, labor, and herd health. The establishment of AI …

Building on the successful structure of the first edition, the second edition of Reproductive
Technologies in Farm Animals has been totally updated and revised to provide an up to date …

Artificial insemination with frozen‐thawed semen in pigs is not a routine technique; its use is
restricted to specific cases, such as preservation of valuable genetic material (germplasm …

In the present study the potential benefit of reactive oxygen species (ROS)‐scavenging
enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) when cryopreserving boar …

Optimal sperm cryopreservation is a prerequisite for the sustainable commercial application
of frozen-thawed boar semen for AI. Three experiments were performed to identify factors …

Contents In the pork industry, artificial insemination and the storage of boar semen in liquid
at 17° C are routinely applied to optimize the ejaculate and bring about rapid genetic …

Variation in boar sperm freezability (ie capacity to withstand cryopreservation) between
ejaculates is a limitation largely reported in the literature. Prediction of sperm freezability and …

AI is commercially applied worldwide to breed pigs, yielding fertility outcomes similar to
those of natural mating. However, it is not fully efficient, as only liquid-stored semen is used …

The present study evaluates the effect that various steps of a conventional cycle of
cryopreservation have on the patterns of movement exhibited by boar spermatozoa. Sperm …
