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...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness different anesthetic protocols for semen collection from healthy tomcats using Urethral Catheterization after Pharmacological Induction (UrCaPI). Twenty sexually mature (Felis catus) were included in study, which high and low dosages medetomidine or dexmedetomidine administrated collect semen. Ten (Group A) received drugs, and, particular, five them i.m. injected with 120 μg/kg (HMED) on day 1 60 (HDEX) 24 h (day 2). remaining group 2....
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...
Ultrasonography is a valuable diagnostic tool extensively used in the andrology of human and domestic animals, including dogs. This review aims to provide an overview various technologies based on ultrasound, from basic B-Mode ultrasonography more recent advancements, such as contrast-enhanced (CEUS) ultrasound elastography (UEl), all which are utilized evaluation canine testicles. The outlines principles behind each these discusses their application assessing normal abnormal testicular...
Abstract A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based assay was used for the specific detection of Habronema microstoma and muscae (Nematoda, Spirurida) in order to identify intermediate hosts both nematode species under field conditions. total 1087 netted 165 laboratory‐bred flies were tested. Flies identified as Musca domestica Linnaeus 1758, autumnalis De Geer 1776, Haematobia irritans (Linnaeus 1758), titillans (De 1907) Stomoxys calcitrans 1758) (Muscidae). Genomic DNA extracted from pools...
