Article Synopsis
  • - Transition nuclear proteins (TNPs) are important for chromatin transformation during sperm development, with a specific gene in this family playing a significant role in spermatogenesis regulation in mammals.
  • - Researchers conducted genomic analysis on Sahiwal cattle breeding bulls to identify novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within this gene, finding multiple transcription factor binding sites and variations that could influence gene expression.
  • - The study revealed potential effects of these SNPs on the gene's promoter activity, which may be linked to reproductive traits, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

Our objectives were to determine the antioxidant effect of Moringa olifera leave extract (MLE) in tris extender on post-thaw quality, kinematics, lipid peroxidation, total antioxidant capacity and field fertility of water buffalo bull semen. Semen was collected on a weekly basis for 5 weeks (n = 5 bulls & n = 25). After collection, every sample was diluted individually with extender (tris egg yolk) containing MLE concentrations (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) at 37°C.

The aim of the present study was to determine the protective effects of pomegranate juice in tris-based extender on semen parameters, computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) motion characteristics and field fertility of post-thawed Nili Ravi buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) bull spermatozoa. Two consecutive ejaculates/collection from each of the five adult Nili Ravi buffalo bulls were collected with artificial vagina at 42°C for a period of 7 weeks, diluted in extender containing different concentrations of pomegranate juice (0.0%, 2.
