  • The study explores the microbiota in the semen of male dogs using DNA sequencing, focusing on factors like ejaculate fraction, sperm quality, and living environment.
  • * It collected sperm-rich and prostatic fractions from healthy dogs with different sperm qualities and analyzed the bacterial composition.
  • * Findings indicated that while the living environment affects bacterial diversity, the ejaculate fraction and sperm quality do not significantly change the microbiota composition.

The iSperm® is a portable device for semen analysis. This study aimed to investigate its correlation with a conventional computer-assisted sperm analyzer (ISAS®v1) for the assessment of semen concentration and kinematic parameters in dogs (n = 224). The intra-assay variability of both devices and their ability to estimate semen concentration at a fixed value of 40 × 106/mL were also investigated.
