1. A study was designed to investigate the comparative effect of supplementary vitamin E, vitamin C, probiotics and dietary crude protein concentration on semen traits and seminal plasma biochemical parameters in male broiler breeders after Zn-induced moulting.

2. A total of 180 male broiler breeders were induced to moult at 65 weeks of age by mixing ZnO in diet at the rate 3000?mg/kg of feed. After moulting, the males were divided into six groups that were given feed supplemented with: vitamin C (500?IU/kg), vitamin E (100?IU/kg), protein (140?g CP/kg), probiotics (50?mg/kg) and the combination of these components, while one group was kept as a control. Semen samples were collected weekly and semen volume, spermatozoa concentration, motility and dead spermatozoa percentage were determined. Seminal plasma was separated to determine the concentration of total antioxidant capacity (TAC), homocysteine, paraoxonase (PON1), arylesterase, ceruloplasmin, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities.

3. Semen volume was significantly higher in the vitamin E and C groups compared to the control. Spermatozoa motility was higher in the vitamin E group and dead spermatozoa percentage was significantly lower in the vitamin C group compared with the control group.

4. Seminal plasma TAC was higher in the vitamin E group, homocysteine was lower in the vitamin C and E groups. PON1 was higher in the combination group. Arylesterase increased significantly in the vitamin C and combination groups over time. Seminal plasma AST was significantly lower in the vitamin C and E supplemented groups whereas ALT decreased significantly only in the vitamin E group compared with the control. Higher concentrations of ceruloplasmin were observed in the combination group compared with the other treatments.

5. It was concluded that additional vitamin E and C or their combination was the most potent nutrient treatment for improving the semen traits and seminal plasma biochemical characteristics in male broiler breeders after Zn-induced moulting.  相似文献

The objective of the present study was to describe seasonal changes in semen quality, serum testosterone and seminal plasma constituents for 9 months in 10 rams from a mature local (Daglic) and imported breed (Chios) under Afyon province conditions typical for the internal Anatolian region. Sperm motility and sperm concentration and testosterone level were higher, percentage of abnormal spermatozoa was the lowest during autumn. The biochemical analyses of ram seminal plasma indicated that the highest values of total protein, albumin (A), globulin (G), total lipid and cholesterol were recorded in autumn while A/G ratio exhibited the lowest values. Aspartate amino transferase (AST) activity and AST/ALT ratio recorded the lowest values, while moderate values were recorded for alanine amino transferase (ALT) activity in autumn. The results suggest that the rams under Afyon province conditions show seasonal changes for some reproductive parameters and seminal plasma constituents.  相似文献

Oxidative stress has detrimental effects on semen quality during spermatogenesis and semen processing for artificial insemination. This work was conducted to study the effect of different levels of vitamin E on the semen traits, oxidative status and trace minerals in Beetal bucks. Thirty‐six bucks of similar body weight and age (1 year) were randomly divided into four groups. One group was kept as control with no supplementation (group 1), and the others were supplemented with 200 (group 2), 400 (group 3) and 800 IU (group 4) vitamin E/animal/day for 2 months. At the end of the experiment, semen samples were collected and evaluated. Seminal plasma was separated to study the concentration of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and trace minerals (Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe). Group 3 showed significantly higher (p < 0.05) semen volume and per cent motility and lower dead sperm percentage compared to control group. Superoxide dismutase, GPx, Zn, Cu and Mn were higher in the same group. The level of AST decreased in group 3 without any change on the concentration of ALT. It is suggested that vitamin E at the rate of 400 IU/buck/day supported higher semen volume, per cent motility, per cent live spermatozoa, antioxidants (SOD, GPx) and trace mineral levels (Zn, Cu, Mn) in the seminal plasma. The increased supplementation from 0 to 400 showed a general increasing trend in improving semen quality. However, the dose of 800 IU/kg had no useful effect in further improving the semen quality.  相似文献

本试验旨在研究不同精液品质特征长白公猪血清和精浆中元素含量的差异,分析血清和精浆中元素含量对精液品质的影响。基于107头长白公猪的1402次精液品质记录,将公猪群按照精液可利用率划分为3组:低利用率组(利用率<60%,n=21)、中等利用率组(60%≤利用率≤80%,n=27)和高利用率组(利用率>80%,n=59)。采集每头长白公猪的血清和精浆样品,采用电感耦合等离子体质谱法检测血清和精浆中营养元素和毒性元素含量。结果表明:1)低利用率组长白公猪的有效精子数和精子活力显著低于中等利用率和高利用率组(P<0.01),精子畸形率显著高于中等利用率和高利用率组(P<0.01)。2)不同利用率组间长白公猪的血清和精浆元素含量无显著差异(P>0.05);但在血清和精浆元素含量与精液品质参数相关性分析中发现,精浆铅元素含量与精子活力呈显著负相关(P<0.05),与精子畸形率呈显著正相关(P<0.05)。3)对精浆铅含量分组进一步分析发现,精浆铅含量为0μg/L时长白公猪的精子畸形率显著低于精浆铅含量>10.0μg/L时(P<0.05),精子畸形率降低约6.11%。总的来说,长白公猪精浆中毒性元素铅的存在会通过损害精子活力和形态,影响公猪精液品质。  相似文献

Routine semen evaluation includes volume, motility, vital staining for live‐dead ratio and pathomorphology including Spermac® staining for evaluation of the acrosome. In recent years, depending on the species, also the hypoosmotic swelling (HOS) test has been applied routinely for evaluation of semen quality. In this respect, a significant correlation between the ability of spermatozoa to swell in HOS test and the fertilizing ability has been reported. Also for evaluation of dog semen, reference has been made to the HOS test; however, its correlation to conventional semen parameters so far is discussed controversially. In the present study, the results of 400 semen examinations from stud dogs presented at our clinic were evaluated for their correlations between conventional semen parameters (motility, live/dead ratio, pathomorphology), conventional semen parameters and age, Spermac® staining and HOS test, respectively. We found a significant correlation of age and sperm concentration (p < 0.01), total sperm count (p < 0.0001), percentage of progressively motile sperm (p < 0.01) and live spermatozoa (p = 0.012). Furthermore, several correlations between conventional semen parameters were identified. Percentage of sperm with normal acrosome identified by Spermac ® staining correlated significantly with live spermatozoa (p < 0.0001) and percentage of progressively motile sperm (p < 0.01). A significant correlation was proven between curled tails in HOS test and age (p < 0.001), motility (p < 0.0001), live sperm (p < 0.0001), acrosomal status (p < 0.05), pathomorphology (p < 0.0001) and sperm concentration (p = 0.011). These results indicate that Spermac® staining and the HOS test are useful in improving canine semen analysis.  相似文献

This study was aimed to investigate the factors affecting semen quality by analyzing the semen quality of Italian buffaloes,measuring the circumference of the testis,the level of oxidative stress in seminal plasma and the expression of genes related to sperm motility.In this study,the sperm vitality,deformity rate and semen collection of 6 Italian buffaloes were tested,and the correlation analysis was carried out after measuring scrotal circumference.The oxidative stress level of seminal plasma in Italian buffaloes was tested,including malondialdehyde (MDA),total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and glutathione peroxidation (GSH-Px).The expression of β-tublin-2c (TUBB2C),outer dense fibres 2 (ODF2),tektin-2 (TEKT2),tektin-4 (TEKT4) genes and their correlation with sperm in Italian buffaloes were analyzed.The results showed that the correlation between scrotal circumference and semen yield,vigor and deformity rate was found,the coefficients were 0.423 (P>0.05),0.750 (P<0.01) and -0.827 (P<0.01),which showed a significant positive correlation between scrotal circumference and sperm motility,and a significant negative correlation with the deformity rate.The oxidative stress level in seminal plasma of Italian buffaloes was tested,the correlation coefficients of MDA,T-SOD and GSH-Px with sperm motility were -0.522 (P<0.05),0.333 (P>0.05) and 0.474 (P<0.05),respectively.There was a significant negative correlation between sperm motility and MDA content,a significant positive correlation between GSH-Px activity and sperm motility,no significant correlation with T-SOD activity.The correlation coefficients between sperm motility and TUBB2C,ODF2,TEKT2 and TEKT4 genes were 0.930 (P<0.01),0.726 (P<0.01),0.924(P<0.01) and 0.839 (P<0.01),respectively.There was a significant positive correlation between sperm motility and the expression of four genes.The results provided a reference for understanding the factors affecting the semen quality of Italian buffaloes,and also provided a theoretical basis for the selection of Italian bull.  相似文献

Total 78 semen samples were obtained from 27 Thoroughbred stallions (aged 6 to 27 years), and were subjected to quantification of lactoferrin (Lf) in seminal plasma and examination of the seminal properties. The seminal plasma Lf concentration varied from 21 to 689 microg/ml, with a mean value of 244 +/- 151 microg/ml (S.D.). The seminal plasma Lf concentration and total seminal plasma Lf positively correlated with the sperm concentration (r=0.5938, P<0.001) and with the total sperm number (r=0.6959, P<0.001), respectively. There was no correlation between seminal plasma Lf and sperm motility. These results suggest that seminal plasma Lf reflects gonadal function.  相似文献

Semen volume, sperm concentration, percentage progressive motility, percentage of abnormal spermatozoa and total number of sperms from 215 830 ejaculates were analysed. The ejaculates were collected between 2000 and 2005 and originated from 3675 boars of different breeds and crossbred combinations from 23 AI centres of the Czech Republic. Genetic parameters were estimated using multiple- and single-trait animal models. Factors included in the models were: breed or crossbred combination, year–month, age class of the boar, interval between subsequent semen collections, joint effect of AI centre and year, permanent environment and additive genetic effect of the boar. The estimated heritabilities for semen volume and sperm concentration were approximately 0.20, whereas the estimates were somewhat lower for motility, percentage of abnormal sperm and total number of sperms. High negative genetic correlations were estimated between semen volume and sperm concentration (−0.68 for dam breeds, −0.69 for sire breeds) and between motility and percentage of abnormal sperm (−0.93 for dam breeds and −0.59 for sire breeds). The correlations between both semen volume or sperm concentration and motility or percentage of abnormal sperm were mostly small and negligible. Repeatabilities of 0.43–0.46, 0.37–0.38, 0.29–0.35, 0.42–0.50 and 0.29–0.30 were estimated for semen volume, sperm concentration, motility, percentage of abnormal sperm and the total number of sperms, respectively. On the basis of the estimated genetic parameters presented here, effective selection on sperm characteristics, especially for volume and concentration, should be possible using an animal model.  相似文献

为研究不同品种、采精月份、采精月龄和采精间隔等因素对加系公猪精液品质的影响,以及品种、初次采精周龄对精液质量稳定性的影响,本研究以江西某种公猪站79头加系大白猪、长白猪、杜洛克猪种公猪为试验群体,收集2018年12月至2020年12月3 921条精液采集与精液质量数据,通过混合线性模型与方差分析探究各因素对精液量、精液密度、精子活力、总精子数及其稳定性的影响。结果显示,从不同品种对精液质量的影响来看,长白猪精液量和总精子数均高于大白猪、杜洛克猪,但杜洛克猪精液密度高于长白猪、大白猪,杜洛克猪精子活力最低;从不同月份来看,1~3月采精精液密度最高,4~6月采精精子活力最高,10~12月采精精液量和总精子数最高,精液量呈现秋冬多、春夏少的季节变化规律。公猪不同月龄采精,精液质量指标也存在差异,月龄越小精液量越低,但精液密度偏高,精子活力相对较好,在19~24月龄黄金期总精子数最高。不同采精间隔对精液质量有较大影响,采精间隔越长,精液量、精液密度、精子活力和总精子数相对较好,采精间隔为5 d时综合性能最佳,但过长的采精间隔导致精子活力降低。品种影响总精子数稳定性,长白猪、大白猪总精子数稳定性显著优于杜洛克猪（P<0.05）。本研究结果表明,品种、采精月份、采精月龄和采精间隔均会影响公猪精液质量,关注这些因素有助于公猪站制定更完善的生产计划,提高公猪利用率。  相似文献

1. The major objective of this study was to examine the influence of 24-h storage of semen at low temperature on semen characteristics and fertilising ability of spermatozoa in two native breeds (Kadaknath-KN, Aseel Peela-AP) and White Leghorn (WL) chicken. 2. Various physical and biochemical properties of freshly ejaculated semen of KN and AP were investigated. Fertility was examined in freshly-ejaculated as well as 24-h-stored (3°C) semen diluted (1:3) with Beltsville Poultry Semen Extender. 3. No significant difference was observed in sperm motility among the different breeds whereas live counts were higher in WL than the native breeds. Body weight, semen volume and sperm concentration were highest in AP, followed by KN and WL. A similar trend was observed in the percentage of dead and morphologically-abnormal spermatozoa. 4. The activity of acid and alkaline phosphatase in seminal plasma were higher in WL than KN, whereas the opposite trend was recorded for glutamic oxaloacetic and pyruvic transaminases. The cholesterol content of semen was highest in AP, followed by KN and WL. Cholesterol was much lower in seminal plasma compared with whole semen but there were no differences between breeds. Mean values of the methylene blue reduction time test were higher in WL than in the native breeds. 5. Fertility and hatchability, using freshly-diluted semen, were poorer in the native breeds than in WL. The pattern of fertility deteriorated further, especially in native fowls, when the birds were inseminated with 24-h-stored semen. 6. In conclusion, variation in physical and biochemical characteristics of semen in native breeds compared to WL correlated with poor fertility after short-term storage of semen.  相似文献

Sperm output and semen quality of 17 bulls sampled over 12 months showed minimal output in mid-winter and late summer and minimum quality in late summer. Monthly measurements of luteinising hormone and testosterone concentration in plasma and testosterone concentration in semen were made over 12 months. Serum non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), albumin and total protein were also measured for the final seven months of this period. Plasma testosterone showed a strong negative correlation with sperm numbers two months hence but not in the current month. Plasma testosterone by bull and semen testosterone by month was also correlated with sperm output. Plasma luteinising hormone three months and serum total protein two months prior was positively correlated with sperm numbers ejaculated and the normality of sperm morphology, possibly by affecting the luteinising hormone dependent A0 to A1 spermatogonial division. NEFA was correlated with initial and post freezing/thawing motility in the current month, possibly by affecting membrane stability. The value of examining the bull in diagnosing infertility of cows where nutritional stress may have occurred is suggested, as is the use of albumin/total protein and NEFA measurements as a prognostic aid for time to return to normality of function of such bulls.  相似文献

Peroxidation damage to spermatozoa and seminal plasma has an important role in sperm quality. Thus, the objective of this study was to determine the levels of lipid and protein oxidation in spermatozoa and seminal plasma of Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) with varying percentage of progressive motility. Lipid and protein oxidation was measured by the thiobarbituric acid‐reactive species (TBARS) assay and the 2, 4‐dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH) carbonyl groups assay, respectively. Fresh semen samples were collected from Asian elephants and classified according to the percentage of motile spermatozoa into good (>60%) and poor (≤20%) motility. Results revealed that seminal plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and seminal plasma protein carbonyls (PCs) were significantly higher in poor motility than in good motility (p < .05). The MDA and PC levels in seminal plasma were negatively correlated with the percentages of progressive motility (p < .05). In addition, the negative correlation between sperm concentration and seminal plasma MDA level was investigated (p < .05). The sperm viability was also negatively correlated with sperm PC level (p < .05). This study indicated that lipid and protein oxidation has deleterious effect on semen quality of Asian elephants.  相似文献

The predictability of semen quality of mature sires from measurements at an early age is not well established. The aim of the present study was to determine age-dependent changes in the quality of bull semen from six Estonian Holstein (EHF) bulls, processed when the sires were 3, 5 and 7 years old. Fertility data such as 60-day non-return to oestrus rates (60d-NRRs) were available for 3-year-old bulls. From each batch, semen straws were analysed immediately after thawing [i.e. post-thaw (PT)] (controls) and after a swim-up (SU) procedure. The analyses comprised subjective and computerized measurements of sperm motility using computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) as well as estimations of sperm concentration, morphology and membrane integrity. There was a significant (p < 0.05) increase in the percentage of sperm motility (SU), membrane integrity (PT, SU) and normal tail and acrosome morphology (SU) with an increase in the age of the sires. The percentage of total motile spermatozoa PT measured by CASA correlated between 3- and 7-, and between 5- and 7-year-old bulls (p < 0.05). In addition, the proportion of head abnormalities tended to correlate between all three age groups both PT and after SU (p < 0.1). The sperm parameters correlating with fertility were average path velocity (VAP) (p < 0.001), total motility as measured by CASA (p < 0.01), linearly motile spermatozoa (p < 0.05) and CASA-assessed numbers of motile spermatozoa (p < 0.05), all after SU selection. The results showed that overall semen quality examined at 3 years of age is related to the semen parameters later in bulls' life. Moreover, CASA-assessed motility after SU seems to be a reliable marker for semen quality assessment as it shows correlation not only between the ages, but also to field fertility.  相似文献

Female cats are known to be seasonal breeders and male cats annual breeders. Despite this, there are limited data on the influence of breeding season (BS) on hormone concentration and semen quality in the male cat. This study compared plasma concentrations of LH and testosterone (T), and semen quality during the non-breeding season (NBS) and BS in five male cats subject to natural hours of daylight but a constant environmental temperature. Plasma LH and T concentrations were higher during the BS in 2/35 and 3/5 cats, respectively, although when comparing both hormones combined, values were higher during the BS than the NBS in all cats (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the percentage of abnormal sperm between the cats. Overall, semen quality was superior during the BS with larger semen volume in 2/5, sperm motility in 2/5 and sperm viability in 3/5 cats. Although there was a clear seasonal effect on hormone secretion and semen quality, during the NBS all cats were likely to have been fertile.  相似文献

1. An experiment was conducted to evaluate indices of fertility including the sperm penetration (SP) assay as a technique for the prediction of fertility. Forty-eight males consisting of White Leghorn (WL), New Hampshire (NH), Iraqi Brown (IBr) and Iraqi Barred (IBa) (12 males each) and 64 WL hens were divided at random into 4 groups of 4 replicates of 3 males and 4 females each. 2. At the beginning of each week semen was collected from males and pooled by breed of male. Hens in each breeding group were inseminated once weekly, by breeding group, for 4 consecutive weeks with pooled semen from WL, NH, IBr and IBa males (WLxWL, NHxWL, IBrxWL and IBaxWL). 3. The differences in percentage of dead sperm, acrosomal abnormalities, mass motility, individual motility and spermatocrit between the experimental breeds demonstrated the superiority of WL and NH males in all these quantitative characters of the semen. On the other hand, WL hens inseminated with spermatozoa from NH males had significantly more sperm-egg penetration (SP) holes than WL hens inseminated with spermatozoa from other breeds of males. The breed of males used for insemination affected fertility, hatchability and embryonic mortality. 4. The highest fertility and hatchability and lowest embryonic mortality were observed in eggs laid by hens inseminated with spermatozoa from WL and NH males in comparison with hens inseminated with spermatozoa from Iraqi males. 5. There was a strong positive correlation between SP values and fertility for WLxWL, NHxWL, IBrxWL and IBaxWL. The correlation for all breeds combined was also significant. In addition, SP was also positively correlated with hatchability and negatively correlated with embryonic mortality.  相似文献

The importance of seminal plasma (SP) components for stallion semen quality and freezability is little known. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between SP components and fresh/cryopreserved stallion semen quality. Semen of 30 stallions was collected, and then, SP was recovered and lyophilized. Total protein (TP), vitamin C (CVIT), vitamin E (EVIT), vitamin A (AVIT), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), magnesium, and zinc (Zn) in SP were assessed. Sperm was frozen in an extender supplemented with lyophilized SP. In fresh semen motility, abnormal morphology (AM), sperm vitality (SV), and plasma membrane integrity (PMI) were evaluated. In post-thaw semen, additionally, total motility (TM), progressive motility (PM), straight line velocity (VSL), curvilinear velocity (VCL), average path velocity (VAP), amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH), and beat cross-frequency (BCF) were assessed. Levels of component of SP were established by a distribution analysis. Generalized linear models were fitted. Comparisons of means were done with Tukey's test. Correlation and regression analyses were performed. Vitamins and ions were found to be related to fresh semen quality. For post-thaw sperm, medium TP showed higher semen quality. Negative regression and correlation coefficients between CVIT and all post-thaw semen parameters were found. Low EVIT yielded the lowest PM, VSL, and VAP values, while a high level of AVIT yielded the best results for sperm quality. A high level of Cu yielded higher results for TM, PM, VCL, and ALH. Moreover, a negative correlation was found between Zn, SV, and PMI. In conclusion, SP composition influences fresh and post-thaw stallion semen quality.  相似文献

2 groups of 20 cocks each were selected at random from non-dwarf White Leghorn (28 weeks post-hatch) and dwarf Krishna-J (38 weeks post-hatch) genotypes. The treated groups comprised 10 White Leghorn and 10 Krishna-J cocks. The remaining birds served as controls. 8 weeks prior to furazolidone treatment, semen was collected from both control groups at regular 4-day intervals, for 4 weeks. Cocks of the treated groups of both genotypes were administered furazolidone (0.14 g/bird/day) for 7 consecutive days. Semen was collected from all cocks at regular 4-day intervals for 4 weeks. Semen from the cocks of the same group was pooled. The pooled ejaculate volume and sperm density did not differ significantly in the 2 genotypes. The semen output as well as sperm density increased along with progressive attainment of sexual maturity. Furazolidone treatment caused significant reduction in semen volume as well as sperm concentration in either genotype.  相似文献
