Laboratory tests for sperm quality and fertility in stallions
The purpose of this literature review was to describe some of the most commonly used laboratory tests for sperm quality in stallions and try to find out if the tests are reliable enough to predict fertility. The presented tests are used to evaluate motility, morphology and function of sperm cells in semen. To enable fertilization some traits has to be fulfilled. The sperm cell has to be able to...
متن کاملFertility Assessment and Prediction Using in Vitro Sperm Function Tests in Murrah Buffalo Bulls
The fertility potential of an artificial insemination (AI) dose is a function of the quantity, quality and health status of the semen contained therein. Therefore, identification of additional semen quality attributes associated with fertility could provide more accurate methods to predict, manage and select for AI sire fertility of predicting a bull's fertility rat. The objective of this study...
متن کاملSperm Function Tests in the Stallion
Introduction: There are many tests that describe semen quality in the stallion which include sperm motility, morphology, and longevity of motility and determination of total sperm numbers. In addition, recently, the flow cytometer (FC) has been used to evaluate various sperm compartment following staining with specific fluorescent probes that bind to different compartments of the sperm. Our lab...
متن کاملSperm function tests in clinical practice.
Conventional semen analysis solely is not completely adequate to predict pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, advanced sperm function tests have been developed and introduced to clinical practice. These tests use different methods and techniques to evaluate different stages of fertilization steps. In this review, we reported some commonly used sperm function tests: sperm penetration assay, sperm-zona...
متن کاملImplications of diversity in sperm size and function for sperm competition and fertility.
Sperm competition is now recognised as a potent selective force shaping many male reproductive traits. While the influence of sperm competition on sperm number is widely accepted, its effects upon sperm size remain controversial. It had been traditionally assumed that there is a trade-off between sperm number and sperm size, so that an increase in sperm number would result in a decrease in sper...
