Sexed Semen: A Boon for Indian Dairy Farming
Abstract: The sexed semen technology is a breakthrough technology for sorting of X and Y bearing chromosome to produce progeny of a desired sex with 80–90% accuracy. Among several methods of sorting X and Y bearing semen, flow cytometry is the best method, as it doesn’t changes more sperm morphology. The sexed semen technology has several advantages like production of more female calves and more milk, lowered risk of dystocia, increased …

On-farm Evaluation of Female Calf Production Through Assisted Reproduction in Improving Smallholder Dairying in Mirab Azerinet Woreda, South Region, Ethiopia
Abstract: In dairy industries production of a heifer for herd replacement and to increase income is a key component. This study was planned to compare artificial insemination (AI) efficiency by using sexed (sex-sorted) semen and conventional semen types and to develop ideas in the production scheme of replacement female calves. Data had been gathered from January 2018 up to December 2019 on 846 inseminations in non-pregnant indigenous cows and heifers. There …

Significance of Artificial Insemination in Poultry
Abstract: AbstractArtificial insemination (AI) involves the deposition of semen into female reproductive tract manually. It starts from the collection of the semen from the male and its evaluation in terms of motility, viability and concentration followed by its deposition into female reproductive tract. Sexual maturity in both male and female bird occurs at 18 weeks of age. One ejaculate of a male can cover up 20 female birds by using AI. …

A Bull Breeding Soundness Evaluation System with Greater Emphasis on Molecular Genetics
Abstract: Bull is known to be half of the herd. As bull contribute large number of progenies to the next generation as compared to females so determining the potential fertility of the bull is much more important than determining the fertility of any individual cow. It becomes critical to study and analyse the breeding potential of a bull before breeding season for getting best out of progeny. Breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) …

The Effect of Vitamin C on the Reproductive Functions of Paraquat Intoxicated Male Albino Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Abstract: Paraquat (PQ) is a bipyridylium herbicide applied around trees in Orchids and between crop rows to control broad-leaved and grassy weeds. Its oxidation results in the formation of superoxides and supernitrite species which causes damage to cellular components. Studies have implicated PQ as one of the pesticides that contributes to the reduction in male reproductive functions in humans and animals during exposure. This study, therefore, determined the antioxidant effect vitamin …
