The effect of dietary omega-3 fatty acid supplementation on fetal growth, piglet birth weight and plasma fatty acid concentrations, using docosahexaenoic acid in early gestation in sows
In conclusion, addition of DHA decreased the dietary ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, increased plasma n-3 fatty acid concentrations in sows and decreased the number of piglets weighing under 800 g at birth.PMID:38006638 | DOI:10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107380 (Source: Animal Reproduction Science)

Comparison of deep-litter bedding materials and analysis of semen traits in Pi étrain boars: A randomized controlled field study
Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Nov 16;259:107379. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107379. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExternal factors can affect reproductive traits of breeding boars and especially the sensitive process of spermatogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate probable influences of bedding materials (chipsy wood shavings (CWS), hemp straw (HS), linen straw (LS), spelt husks (SH), and regional wood shavings (RWS)) on semen traits of 40 randomly selected Piétrain boars (8 boars per group, age: 2.35 ± 1.23 years). After a six-week adaptation period, 40 fresh semen samples were collected weekly for four weeks ...

Effect of crocin supplementation in the extender on the quality of chilled canine semen
Anim Reprod Sci. 2023 Nov 8;259:107374. doi: 10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107374. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of crocin on canine sperm quality parameters during prolonged storage at 4 °C. Ejaculates from 10 dogs were diluted in a TRIS- egg yolk extender supplemented with 0 (control group), 0.5, 1, and 2 mM crocin and stored at 4 °C. Sperm membrane functional integrity, motility, and kinetics were assessed after 3 h, 24 h, 4 days and 7 days of storage. Based on the results, the more efficient concentration of crocin (0.5 mM) was chosen to evaluate sperm intracellular ROS l...

The cryoprotective effect of Guar gum co-supplemented with ethylene glycol and glycerol in Simmental bull semen
In conclusion, adding guar gum to the bull sperm diluent either alone or combined with glycerol or ethylene glycol ameliorated sperm viability and kinematic parameters and antioxidant capacity while reducing DNA damage and apoptotic-like changes. Guar gum also has improved embryo development. Due to its cost-effectiveness and physicochemical properties, guar gum is a promising supplement for bull sperm cryopreservation.PMID:37956627 | DOI:10.1016/j.anireprosci.2023.107362 (Source: Animal Reproduction Science)
