Adjusting ram semen preservation: Exploring the impact of oxygen exposure during liquid storage.

This study investigated the effects of storage conditions on the quality of chilled ram semen stored at 4°C for 48 h, comparing aerobic and anaerobic conditions. Ejaculates from INRA180 rams were collected and stored under both conditions, with assessments at 0-, 24-, and 48-h intervals. Various sperm parameters were examined, including motility, velocity, viability, morphology, membrane integrity, and lipid peroxidation.

Reproductive Enhancement through Phytochemical Characteristics and Biological Activities of Date Palm Pollen: A Comprehensive Review on Potential Mechanism Pathways.

Infertility represents a significant global health challenge affecting both men and women. Despite regular unprotected sexual intercourse, approximately 15% of couples of reproductive age struggle to conceive within 12 months, with 10% of infertility cases attributed to unknown causes worldwide. As a result, numerous studies have turned their attention to exploring the use of natural products for the prevention and treatment of infertility.

Heat stress and ram semen production and preservation: Exploring impacts and effective strategies.

As global warming persists, heat stress (HS) continues to affect animals, particularly those raised in extensive systems such as sheep. As a result, there is a growing body of research investigating the physiological and biological consequences of HS on these animals. Recent studies have specifically examined the effects of climate change, global warming, and HS on gametes.

Assessment of physicochemical parameters, bioactive compounds, biological activities, and nutritional value of the most two commercialized pollen types of date palm ( L.) in Morocco.

The pollen of date palm ( L.) is known for its nutritional value and implications as a health-promoting component. Due to its low cost, date palm pollen crushed with its spadix is more widely commercialized and used in Morocco than pure date palm pollen free of spadix.

Morphometry and depth of inseminating catheter penetration in prolific and non- prolific ewes at different ages: A post mortem study.

The ewe's cervix structure is highly variable among females, which may limit the application of transcervical artificial insemination (TCAI). This work aimed to study the variation in cervix anatomy in two different prolificacy breeds (D'man a prolific and Boujaâd a non-prolific sheep). Reproductive tracts were collected from D'man (n = 64) and Boujaâd (n = 187) females aged between 1 and 4 years.
