No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2017-01-01; Sperm concentration is traditionally evaluated by counting cells in a hemocytometric Neubauer chamber, often a highly subjective, time-consuming, and laborious technique prevalent in andrology laboratories around the world. However, the Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) represents a more consisten...

However, little is known about the effect of this process on goat sperm viability and functionality. The present study evaluated the effects of centrifugation force on the plasma membrane, acrosomes...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2019-01-01; Studies involving different methods and techniques of cryopreservation and its interactions with the conception rates in artificial insemination (AI) programs are reported in the literature. This study evaluated the sperm kinetics, plasma membrane integrity, and fertility rates of mares inseminated with...
Protocols for cooling or freezing goat semen usually recommend centrifugation for seminal plasma removal. However, little is known about the effect of this process on goat sperm viability and functionality. The present study evaluated the effects of centrifugation force on the plasma membrane, acrosomes, and DNA integrity of goat semen. Four ejaculates from each of the four different Anglo Nubian male goats wer...

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as flunixin meglumine (FM) are frequently used in order to prevent a potential luteolysis. However, despite t...
Tradicionalmente, a concentração espermática é avaliada por meio da contagem de células em câmara hemocitométrica de Neubauer, técnica laboriosa adotada na rotina dos laboratórios de andrologia. Uma alternativa para essa contagem é a técnica computadorizada de avaliação espermática (CASA), método que pode aumentar a eficiência e acurácia na determinação da concentração de espermatozoides em uma amostra de sêmen...
