Sonoelastography is a rapid and non-invasive ultrasound-based technique to assess tissue elasticity. Interest in this technique's application veterinary medicine progressively increasing, with preliminary reports also available canine testicular parenchyma abnormalities. Since elastographic techniques are different it of paramount importance standardize procedures, work aimed compare two techniques, SE 2D SWE, on the same testes data current literature. Thirty healthy were included, complete...
Semen evaluation is used to estimate the testicular function. In bulls, spermatozoa present in ejaculate are result of a process that begun more than 2 mo earlier, bequeathing delayed depiction actual function testis. Since testis vascularization might be critical for gonad function, selected pulse wave Doppler ultrasound parameters were assessed this study, instance peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and resistive index artery along spermatic cord, marginal portion...
In this study, the effect of chamber used for automated analysis sperm motility by a computer-assisted semen system on kinematics was evaluated, and cause also verified. Twenty-three bull batches were thawed, diluted, aliquoted analysed with six different chambers, (three capillary-loaded chambers three droplet (DR)-loaded chambers). For each type, sample in quadruplicate, reliability tested using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Furthermore, membrane integrity (MI) chamber, 12...
Density gradient centrifugation was reported as a technique of semen preparation in assisted reproductive techniques humans and animals. This found to be efficient improving quality after harmful such cryopreservation. Recently modified technique, single layer centrifugation, proposed providing large amount high spermatozoa, this treatment performed before conservation. Single has been studied prevalently stallions boars, but limited data were available for bulls. Occasionally bulls are...
Juvenile in vitro embryo technology (JIVET) provides exciting opportunities animal reproduction by reducing the generation intervals. Prepubertal oocytes are also relevant models for studies on oncofertility. However, current JIVET efficiency is still unpredictable, and further improvements needed order it to be used a large-scale level. This study applied bioengineering approaches recreate: (1) three-dimensional (3D) structure of cumulus–oocyte complex (COC), constructing—via bioprinting...
In this study, the first postpartum heat, termed foal characteristics and performance in female donkey (jenny) of Martina Franca are described. To end, follicular development 42 jennies during heat was compared with that 31 at third estrus after foaling. Estrus length (7.1±0.9 6.8±0.7 days), preovulatory follicle size (43.7±3.5 45.1±2.5 mm) were similar between The pregnancy rate day 14 significantly lower (57.1%) than (82.3%). However, increased when onset ⩾8 days foaling (93.8%) or...
Today a great deal of research is focused on the development new extenders that allow refrigeration and maintenance rabbit semen for longer period time. In this study, diluted with 3 different (A, B, C) stored at two temperatures (4°C 38°C) were evaluated using both laboratory in vivo tests. The best results obtained extender C (INRA 96) which, first 10 h test 4°C, displayed about 80% higher motility compared to other preserved optimal seminal fluid over 34 after dilution. 38 °C, was 52%...
Mules (Equus mulus) are interspecific hybrids derived from crossing horse caballus) mares with jackasses asinus). In Italy, the production of mules is very important for special environmental areas, where they used as working animals, instead forbidden agricultural machines. Although many carry mule pregnancy successfully at term, low fertility producing was reported, but limited data about reproductive efficiency in carrying pregnancy, especially when age and status concerned, available....
