Cryopreservation of rooster semen is a reproductive technology carried out to boost genetic gain and productivity in commercial flocks of chicken. However, semen freezing significantly reduces the quality and fertilizing potential of spermatozoa. This study examined cryoprotective effects of the mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mitoquinol mesylate added to the freezing extender by assessing post-thaw characteristics of rooster sperm.

- Supplementing freeze diluents like Beltsville extender with Mitoquinol, an antioxidant, can help maintain the quality of chilled rooster sperm.
- The study tested different concentrations of Mitoquinol (0, 1, 10, 100, and 1000 nM) on sperm quality over a cooling period of 50 hours.
- Results showed that 10 and 100 nM Mitoquinol improved sperm motility and viability, reduced malondialdehyde levels, and increased fertility rates during artificial insemination compared to the control group.
Supplementing the semen extender with some antioxidants may preserve sperm quality following liquid preservation. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the influence of the use of MitoQ in the semen extender on quality parameters and fertility of liquid-preserved ram semen. In this study, diluted semen samples were divided into five parts and supplemented with 0, 1, 10, 100 and 1000 nM MitoQ.

Despite its potential for enhanced biocomposite film development, carrageenan faces challenges related to strength. The incorporation of nanoclay into the carrageenan film resulted in a significant increase in film thickness from 0.

- Nutritional manipulation with polyunsaturated fatty acids can enhance milk production efficiency in dairy farming, especially during critical physiological periods like late pregnancy for mammary gland development.
- A study compared four different diets for Saanen goats in late pregnancy and early lactation, assessing 22 performance criteria including milk yield and body weight.
- The results indicated that diets supplemented with flaxseed (omega-3) performed best according to a multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) tool, highlighting flaxseed as a beneficial fat source for improving lactation performance.
