Methodology: Semen was collected from 3 manila ducks (<i>Cairina moschata</i>) using the cloaca massage technique twice a week. Fresh semen was evaluated macro and microscopically then polled and divided into 5 tubes of treatments. Each tube was diluted in DMSO4, DMSO6, DMSO8, DMSO10, and DMSO12. The semen of each treatment was loaded into a 0.25 mL straw and equilibrated at 5 °C for 2 h. Freeze above nitrogen vapor and stored a container of liquid nitrogen at -196 °C, then semen thawed in a water bath at 37 °C for 30 sec. Data were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA Analysis. Results of this showed that post-equilibration sperm motility and sperm viability have differed significantly (P<0.05) for each treatment, with the highest % sperm motility DMSO8 and DMSO6, this is also shown in post-thawing sperm motility and viability which have differed significantly (P<0.05) and the highest % sperm viability were DMSO8 and DMSO6.

Gilts typically reach puberty at nearly six months of age. Puberty may be induced through early boar exposure, therapy with steroid hormones and chorionic gonadotropins, and optimized by identifying biological predictors and risk factors. Old age at the time of the first mating is associated with an increased risk of premature culling, often attributed to reproductive failures and locomotor problems. While female prolifacy has increased substantially during the last few decades, selecting for litter size to optimize lifetime productivity would be more efficient after two parities. Additionally, uterine capacity and the number of functional teats should be considered in selecting future dams. For each female, the cost-effective number of parities at removal is determined by the cumulative number of pigs born and weaned during the total herd days.</p>","PeriodicalId":7889,"journal":{"name":"Animal Reproduction","volume":"21 4","pages":"e20240087"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11486453/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142456301","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
