Estimados colegas, éste es el primer número de Noticias de Reproducción Bovina, publicación que tiene como propósito ofrecer información para los Médicos Veterinarios Zootecnistas que están trabajando en el manejo reproductivo de hatos... more
The dynamics of sperm DNA fragmentation (sDF) and sperm viability were analyzed in frozen-thawed sperm samples of Equus asinus (Zamorano-Leonés), a breed at risk of extinction. Sperm DNA fragmentation was assessed using an adaptation of... more
The trend of increasing cow numbers per husbandry person makes it difficult to achieve good reproductive management by traditional means. A system to predict the reproductive status of cows would be of great value. There exist time-series... more
Currently, timed artificial insemination (TAI) can be applied routinely in the reproductive programs on farms. TAI protocols are designed to promote control of both luteal and follicular function, permitting the TAI with satisfactory... more
Hair sheep ewes (St. Croix White and Barbados Blackbelly) were used to evaluate 3 methods of estrus synchronization for use with transcervical artificial insemination (TAI). To synchronize estrus, ewes (n = 18) were treated with PGF2¢ (15... more
Bacterial, viral and protozoal infections may cause severe reproductive losses. The present paper reviews the risk factors, clinical signs and preventive measures for the most important venereal or potential sexually transmitted diseases... more
Within-breed artificial insemination and between-breed embryo transfer were carried out in small pony (P) and large Thoroughbred (Tb) mares to create 4 types of horse pregnancy in which the fetus experienced spatial and nutritional... more
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between conception rate (CR) and climate variables. Data consisted of 24,380 inseminations of Holstein dairy herd in Hidalgo, Mexico. Weather records, including daily... more
This study was undertaken to determine management and seasonal effects on fertility in 1298 Finnish sow units over a 4-year period in 1992-1996. A multivariate analysis of the herd record data was undertaken to study the effect of various... more
Sex preselection of livestock offspring in cattle represents, nowadays, a big potential for genetic improvement and market demand satisfaction.Sperm sorting by flow cytometer provides a powerful tool for artificial insemination and... more
Data on breeding soundness and libido evaluations in Belgian Blue (BB) bulls are scarce. The present study compared results of breeding soundness and libido evaluations of young BB bulls to young Holstein Friesian (HF) bulls prior to... more
Since the production of the first live offspring from sex-sorted spermatozoa in 1989, there have been many developments in the fluorescence-activated cell separation (FACS) procedures to preselect Xand Y-chromosome bearing spermatozoa... more
DanielJ. Lasker KABBALAH, HALAKHAH, AND MODERN MEDICINE: THE CASE OF ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION I
The aim of the present study was to identify the deletion/insertion polymorphism of the bovine prion protein gene (PRNP) within the promoter sequence (23 bp), intron 1 (12 bp) and 3’ untranslated region (14 bp). DNA was isolated from... more
Transcervical embryo collection is used routinely in the bovine species throughout the world to collect Day 6 to Day 9 embryos (early embryos) for genetic selection. For research purposes, however, the collection of embryos at later... more
Most of the world's bovine herd is found in tropical regions. Bos indicus predominates, due to their adaptation to the climate and management conditions. Anestrous is the main factor that negatively affects reproductive performance of... more
The techniques of artificial insemination in farm and pet animals are explained in this lecture
of modem European agriculture, especially in extensive management systems, leads to an increase in the number of animals per stockman. Thus, the time allocated to each animal by the farmer is decreasing. In extensive management systems... more
The liberalization of European animal breeding legislation and an increasing diversity of equestrian sports have led to a constant rise in the number of horse breeds and breed registries. In addition to the trend towards more and smaller... more
Aim: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Rosmarinus officinalis (L.) essential oil on rooster sperm motility during 4°C short-term storage. Materials and Methods: R. officinalis essential oil was analyzed using gas... more
Abnormally increased placental expression of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules at the trophoblastic surface has been suggested previously to be the cause of early fetal loss in nuclear transfer (NT) bovine... more
Studies of postpartum endometrial physiologic and immune mechanisms in cows are compromised by the difficulty in acquiring tissue of suitable quality and in sufficient quantity (Bos taurus). Endometrial biopsy sampling has attracted... more
The effect of exercise on mare reproductive efficiency was evaluated by comparing rates of embryo recovery from mares assigned to either an exercise regimen or a non-exercise (control) regimen. Exercised mares were worked daily for 30 min... more
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to determine the fecundity of young women (<35 years) with an elevated day 3 follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) undergoing gonadotropin-stimulation/intrauterine insemination.
As the law of parentage is striving to meet the challenges of new reproductive technologies, dealing with cross-border surrogacies emerges as one of the most pressing topics in international family law. The current legal situation as... more
Palabras clave: calidad seminal, inseminación artificial, ovinos, fertilidad, semen congelado RESUMEN Se analizó la relación entre la calidad del semen post-descongelamiento y la eficiencia reproductiva en ovinos Merino. Se utilizó semen... more
Artificial insemination (AI) is an important tool for genetic improvement in livestock. The success rate of AI is influenced by many factors, including the semen quality used for inseminating the female (1). Fresh semen is processed and... more
Our expanding knowledge of the control of follicular wave dynamics during the bovine estrous cycle has resulted in renewed enthusiasm for the prospects of precisely controlling the follicular and luteal dynamics and finely controlling the... more
and artificial insemination (AI) in the canine has become a common practice in veterinary medicine. Chilled dog semen is easy to handle, and several extenders can be used. The aim of this study was to compare the effects on canine... more
This review presents an overview of the technical bases of in vivo and in vitro embryo production in sheep and goat. The current limitations of in vivo production, such as variability of response to the hormonal treatment, fertilization... more
The present work optimizes procedures for artificial insemination of European catfish, Silurus glanis L., with goals to increase collection of sperm and hatching rate. We address technical aspects of immobilizing solution (IS), activation... more
A critical analysis of posthumous conception African style (“PPAS”) and posthumous conception Western style (“PPWS”) reveals inconsistencies between the two practices and sheds light on similarities in practices across cultures and... more
