Overall, 531 dairy cows were inseminated with the aim to study their reproductive performance following administration of GnRH analogue on different days of estrous cycle with different doses. These cows were divided into six treatment and one control group. Depending upon different treatment groups, Buserelin acetate was injected at a dose of 10.5 µg or 21.0 µg on different days (0, 5 or 12) o...

Forty ewes (3-6 years of age, average weight 41.2 kg)were randomly chosen from the flock of the sheep experiment station of Tripoli University. Ewes were divided into two groups, control group (C) received untreated barley straw and treatment group (T) received barley straw treated with 10% urea solution applied as 40% (V/W). Barley straw was sprayed with molasses when fed to animals. Both grou...

The objective of the present study was to compare the impact of ovsynch and progesterone-based ovulation synchronization protocol on ovarian response and conception in buffalo (n=19) exhibiting subestrus during low-breeding season (maximum ambient temperatures and relative humidity ranging from 36-45°C and 30-80%, respectively). Group I buffalo (n=10) were administered ovsynch protocol (d 0 and...

Sperm DNA damage affects the conception rate resulting from human assisted reproduction technology. The objective of this study was to adapt the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay to provide a quality parameter for bull semen based on the detection of sperm DNA damage. Fresh semen was collected from two Japanese Black bulls (A, B) several times o...
