This research was carried out to investigate the effects of various levels of dietary organic selenium supplementation (0, 0.1,  0.2 and  0.3 mg/Kg) on reproductive traits of rooster. Semen was collected using abdominal massage and samples were mixed together. Sperm characteristics including percentage of motile, viable and abnormal sperms were assessed. This experiment was carried out based on...

Background: Frozen-thawed rooster semen is not reliable for use in artificial insemination in commercial stocks. Low density lipoprotein (LDL) has been assessed for effectiveness as a cryoprotectant in the extender to improve the quality of frozen-thawed rooster semen. Although LDL has been evaluated in a few studies in other species for semen cryopreservation, to date, no study has been conduc...

The Effect of Resveratrol Antioxidant in Nano Liposome and NLC Forms Rooster Semen Extender During Storage at 4˚C

The natural polyamines spermine and spermidine, and the diamine putrescine, were extracted from rooster testis cells separated by sedimentation at unit gravity, and from vas-deferens spermatozoa. The ratios spermine/DNA and spermidine/DNA were kept relatively constant throughout spermatogenesis, whereas the ratio putrescine/DNA rose in elongated spermatids. The cellular content of spermine, spe...

The event of Peter’s denials of Christ is a frequent subject of Sunday sermons. The prediction and outplaying of the denials, as recorded in the four Gospels, is a powerful reflection of a condition of our relationship with Christ—that our faith is more vulnerable than we care to admit.1 But a small thorny issue surrounds the Gospel accounts of this event, one that is a nagging distraction to s...

A sensitive, specific, and rapid immunochemical method for the measurement of the synthesis of lipoproteins in rooster liver is described. Incubation of liver slices with [aH]leucine resulted in the incorporation of radioactivity into protein material that could be precipitated from crude extracts by a monospecific antibody directed against the antigen common to plasma very low density and low ...

The Effect of using Different Levels Luteolin on Reducing Malondialdehyde Content and Increasing the Motility Viability Ross 308 Rooster Sperm during Cryopreservation Thawing Process

The microimmunofluorescence test with hyperimmune rooster sera against lymphogranuloma venereum strains gave the same serotype patterns obtained in the standard mouse serum system. Results in a plaque reduction test appeared similar when only 3 prototype strains were tested, but differed when a battery of 11 strains were tested.

We conducted experiments to determine amino acid (AA) digestibility of nine animal by-product meals using precision-fed cecectomized roosters and ileally cannulated dogs. The products initially evaluated in roosters were meat and bone meals (MBM) containing 24 or 34% ash, poultry by-product meals (PBP) containing 7 or 16% ash, lamb meals (LM) containing 15 or 24% ash, a LM analog containing a m...

We report a case of Streptobacillus moniliformis spondylodiscitis accompanied by a psoas abscess in an 80-year-old man scratched by a rooster. S. moniliformis was identified from abscess fluid by use of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. After 18 weeks of antimicrobial therapy, the clinical condition of the patient improved.
