Protective effect of rosiglitazone on microscopic and oxidative stress parameters of ram sperm after freeze-thawing.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of rosiglitazone on ram semen after cryopreservation on the quality of thawed sperm. Sperm motility, membrane functionality, viability, total abnormality, acrosome membrane integrity, mitochondrial activity, reactive oxygen species production, ATP content and apoptotic features were assessed after thawing. Rosiglitazone at concentration of 60 µM resulted in the highest (P < 0.

Effect of tempol and straw size on rooster sperm quality and fertility after post-thawing.

The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of tempol and straw size on rooster sperm post-thaw quality and fertility. Rooster semen was cryopreserved in Lake extender containing 0 (control), 5, 10, 15 and 20 μM tempol (in two different straw size, 0.25 and 0.

Effects of wet feeding and early feed restriction on blood parameters and growth performance of broiler chickens.

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of early feed restriction (FR) with wet feeding on size of small intestine, blood lipids and performance parameters in broilers from d 1 to 42. A total of 160 one-day-old male broiler chickens were randomly allocated to 4 treatments with 4 pens per treatment and 10 chickens per pen, in a fully randomized 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, two feeding arrangement; providing feed (Full Fed) or FR by 50% between days 6 to 12, and feed in either wet or dry form (wet form, 1.2 g water per 1 g dry feed).
