An unusual case involving the alleged sexual violation of a woman by three men and a Rottweiler dog is described. Forensic examination proved difficult and showed little of evidentiary value but did reveal the presence of dog hairs at the scene, and semen from one of the men on the victim's panties. All attempts to locate and identify dog semen were unsuccessful. It was not clear whether dog semen could not be located using available techniques for semen identification, or whether dog semen was, in fact, not present at all.

Cryopreservation can adversely affect sperm motility, structural integrity, and fertilization ability. This study investigated the effects of MitoQ and antifreeze protein III (AFP III) on frozen-thawed semen from eight adult dogs using a Tris-fructose extender. Ejaculates were divided and diluted with a standard Tris-fructose-egg yolk extender containing MitoQ (200 nM/mL) and AFP III (0.

(1) Background: The RoXsta system has been developed as a rapid, effective means of profiling different types of antioxidant activity. The purpose of this study was to examine its performance utilizing a diverse array of biological fluids including semen, blood plasma, serum, urine, saliva, follicular fluid and plant extracts. (2) Methods: The RoXsta system was used to assess the ability of different fluids to suppress free radical formation as well as scavenge a variety of toxic oxygen metabolites including free radicals and both hydrogen and organic peroxides.

Article Synopsis
- Toxoplasma gondii is a protozoan that causes toxoplasmosis, impacting public health and animal reproduction, particularly in breeding kennels.
- A study tested semen from 36 male breeding dogs with reproductive issues, finding that 31% were seropositive and 8.33% tested positive for T. gondii using a sensitive molecular technique.
- While one positive sample showed potential links to reproductive problems, the overall study concluded that a clear connection between T. gondii presence in semen and reproductive disorders wasn't established, highlighting the need for further research.

The purpose of this study was to improve the quality of frozen-thawed canine spermatozoa through the optimization of glycerol concentration (GC) and freezing rate in the semen freezing protocol. Ejaculates from nine dogs were diluted with an extender containing 0%, 1.5%, 3%, 6%, or 9% glycerol.

Sperm cryopreservation is crucial in reproductive biotechnology; however, the longevity of frozen and thawed semen is limited by the deterioration of sperm cell integrity. This study aimed to examine the effects of adding antifreeze protein III (AFP III) to the diluent, using samples from eight healthy mature dogs. The ejaculates were divided into aliquots and diluted with a standard Tris-fructose-egg yolk extender containing AFP III at concentrations of 0, 0.
