PRRSV transmission via boar semen
Monitoring protocols in boar studs are often insufficient to timely detect an infection.
The battle of the sexes starts in the oviduct: modulation of oviductal transcriptome by X and Y-bearing spermatozoa
Swine artificial insemination: which technique to use and how many sperm per dose?
We should be cautious when setting the number of sperm per insemination dose, so the urge to reduce it does not make us use a number that is under the fertility threshold. Something that may be productive and/or profitable for a certain farm may not be so for another farm.
Supplementing cryopreservation media with reduced glutathione increases fertility of sows
Sino-French agreement in the agriculture and agri-food sectors
Colombia and Canada reaffirm sanitary and phytosanitary agreements
Reproduction in gilts inseminated with PCV2-spiked semen. Protection by gilt vaccination with a sow PCV2 vaccine
PCV2 vaccination of the gilts prior to insemination with PCV2 spiked-semen showed a clear decrease of viral load in the gilts as well as a much lower viral excretion that were compatible with foetus protection.
Genetic parameters for male fertility and its relationship to Skatole and Androstenone in Danish Landrace Boars
Simplified freezing of boar semen: possible?
Novel cryopreservation methods and containers are designed to increase semen cryosurvival without disturbing production of conventional liquid semen doses. This provides opportunities for gene banking and preserved fertility when inseminated deep intra uterine, alongside undisturbed commercial AI-dose production.
