Use of sexed semen for artificial insemination of US Holstein heifers (1.3 million breedings) and cows (10.8 million breedings) in Dairy Herd Improvement herds was characterized by breeding year, parity, service number, region, herd size,... more
Our expanding knowledge of the control of follicular wave dynamics during the bovine estrous cycle has resulted in renewed enthusiasm for the prospects of precisely controlling the follicular and luteal dynamics and finely controlling the... more
Background and Aim: The production of male calf beef cattle is an agricultural innovation needed to increase the farm's productivity as a provider of meat sources. This study aimed to determine the sex ratio of the offspring of cows... more
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the ischiorectal fossa (IRF) as a route for the administration of prostaglandin F2 alpha (dinoprost) in cattle. In Experiment 1, 21 nonlactating Holstein cows were given 100 micrograms of... more
Experiment 1 evaluated pregnancy rates when estradiol cypionate (ECP) was used to induce ovulation as part of a timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol in comparison to Ovsynch for lactating dairy cows in Florida (n = 371) and Texas... more
Semen quality is one of the criteria used for the selection of bulls with relatively greater fertility. In addition, bull fertility depends on the integrity and function of all sperm structures. The aim of this study, therefore, was to... more
Aim: An experiment was designed to evaluate the role of Vitamin E and glutathione in improving the seminal parameters during hypothermic storage of liquid semen at 4°C for 72 h. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six semen ejaculates were... more
Gerenuk antelope in North American zoos are descended from 28 founders imported from Kenya approximately 20 years ago. Intensive management is required to prevent inbreeding depression. Artificial insemination has potential for augmenting... more
This study tested KUROKURA solution (Kurokura et al., 1984, Aquaculture 37, 267–274) and its modifications (by increasing NaCl content to 160, 180 and 200 mM) on immobilizing properties for sampling and short-term preservation of... more
