Each ejaculate was divided into two aliquots and diluted in two different solutions (PBS 'phosphate-buffered saline' and a commercial buffer solution 'EBB: Easy Buffer B') at a concentration of 25 million spz/mL then incubated at 37°C for five different times (T0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 min after collection) before being analysed by Hamilton-Thorne IVOS II CASA system. The analyser automatically generated two motility percentages, eight kinetic parameters and six morphometric parameters. The results showed that the sperm analysis by HT-IVOS II immediately after collection without prior incubation (T0), presented a decrease in the percentages of motility and kinetic parameters. On the other hand, incubation at 37°C for 20 min did not show any significant difference compared to T0 + 10 min. The spz retained their motility, kinetic and morphometric parameters in a similar way to the reference time (10 min). On the contrary, the incubation times T0 + 30 min and T0 + 40 min showed a highly significant difference compared to T0 and T0 + 10 min. The percentages of total and progressive motility and the kinetic parameters dropped considerably, so these times (30 and 40 min) are unsuitable for the incubation of canine spz before analysis by the HT-IVOS II system. To conclude, incubation at T0 + 20 min seems to be a good alternative to T0 + 10 min and PBS medium tends to be an acceptable substitute of EBB medium; this trend requires further exploration to be confirmed.</p>","PeriodicalId":21035,"journal":{"name":"Reproduction in Domestic Animals","volume":"60 3","pages":"e70030"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143568041","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evaluation of sperm motility is integral to basic semen analysis and results are important for breeding management and clinical practice. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) allows objective sperm motility evaluation and increases analytical precision. The objective of the present study was to validate a portable CASA system (AndroScope). Fresh/cooled semen samples (33 ejaculates, 18 stallions) and frozen semen (40 ejaculates and one epididymal flush, 27 stallions) were evaluated using the AndroScope and the IVOS II CASA system ('gold standard'). Positive associations (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.31 to 0.83, p < 0.0001) between the systems were observed for all sperm motility estimates. The percentage of motile sperm was lower (p < 0.0001) with the AndroScope than with IVOS II (mean difference: -4.2%), but the percentage of progressively normal sperm did not differ between the two systems. Systemic differences were observed for sperm kinetic estimates. Sperm velocities, ALH, and BCF were lower (p < 0.0001) with the AndroScope, observations likely associated with the slower video acquisition frame rate used by this system when compared with the IVOS II (45 Hz vs. 60 Hz, respectively). In conclusion, the AndroScope produced precise results for all sperm motility parameters. The ability to identify and track sperm, and to analyse single sperm kinematics seemed similar to that of the 'gold standard' system used for validation.

This study aimed to accelerate the uterine involution of postpartum ewes through a relatively simple hormone treatment approach. In this study, 96 Dorper × Hu F1 ewes were assigned to three groups. The ewes were subsequently injected with normal saline (control group), prostaglandin + oxytocin (PG + OT group) and prostaglandin + oxytocin + horse chorionic gonadotropin (PG + OT + eCG group). Each group had 16 ewes producing a single lamb and 16 ewes producing twin lambs used to determine the effects of different treatments on their uterine involution and reproductive performance. PG + OT + eCG treatment accelerated the rate of uterine horn involution of single lambs (21.40 ± 0.89 days vs. 30.66 ± 1.03 days, p < 0.05) and twin hlambs (22.2 ± 1.09 days vs. 30.33 ± 0.81 days, p < 0.05) compared to the control group. PG + OT + eCG treatment also accelerated the regression of the uterine wall serosa structure and the removal of uterine effusion compared to PG + OT treatment, whose effect was moderate. PG + OT and PG + OT + eCG treatments had no significant effect on the recovery of the maximum uterine diameter of single and double lambing ewes compared to the control group. However, both treatments shortened the first estrus time of postpartum ewes (53.73 ± 3.69 days vs. 48.06 ± 5.87 days vs. 46.46 ± 7.41 days, p > 0.05).

The peak of the luteinising hormone in the two treatment groups appeared 14 days earlier compared to that of the control group. In summary, exogenous PG + OT + eCG increases the concentration of estradiol during uterine involution, inhibits the secretion of progesterone, and accelerates the postpartum uterine involution and postpartum estrus time of ewes.

The prevalence of nuclear defects was comparable between satisfactory bulls of both genotypes. Unsatisfactory Bos indicus bulls exhibited a higher frequency of A and B nuclear defect categories.

Four ejaculates of adult breeding Barbari and Sirohi bucks, six from each breed, were collected fortnightly using an artificial vagina during the summer and winter seasons for the study. The redox status of fresh semen samples during the summer and winter seasons was assessed to ascertain oxidative stress in different seasons by evaluating the levels of SOD, CAT, GSH, MDA, and TAC. Spermatozoa were separated from the semen by centrifugation, and ROMO1 gene expression was analysed in both seasons, with GAPDH serving as the housekeeping gene. The results revealed significantly (p < 0.05) higher levels of SOD and MDA in summer compared to the winter season, whereas the catalase activity, reduced glutathione, and mean total antioxidant capacity (TAC) concentration were significantly (p < 0.05) higher in winter than summer in both breeds. While no significant difference was observed for SOD, CAT, GSH, MDA, and TAC between the two breeds. ROMO1, a key protein regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in mitochondria, especially in metabolically active cells like sperm, showed significantly (p < 0.05) lower expression in winter compared to the summer season. This suggests that the elevated ROMO1 gene expression during summer might influence the antioxidant defence mechanisms in seminal plasma.
