Effects of Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles on Post‐Thaw Functional, Biochemical and Ultrastructural Characteristics of Cryopreserved Beetal Buck ( Capra hircus ) Spermatozoa
Cryopreservation of buck semen is associated with excessive reactive oxygen species generation, oxidative stress and cellular damage, leading to reduced post‐thaw sperm quality. This study evaluated the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticle...

Does the Use of a Sanitary Sheath During Artificial Insemination Improve Pregnancy Outcomes in Cattle? A Systematic Review With Meta‐Analysis
Sanitary sheaths (SS), used to reduce reproductive‐tract contamination during bovine artificial insemination (AI), have shown inconsistent associations with pregnancy per AI (P/AI). This systematic review with meta‐analysis evaluated whe...

Effect of Different Equilibration Times in the Freezing Process on Post‐Thaw Motility Parameters in Equine Spermatozoa
Cryopreservation of stallion semen remains suboptimal, with approximately one‐third of stallions producing semen that is poorly tolerant to freezing. As optimization of pre‐freezing procedures may improve post‐thaw sperm quality, this st...

Oral Administration of Moringa oleifera or Its Nanoemulsion Ameliorates Testicular Hemodynamics, Testosterone Concentration, Semen Quality, and Total Antioxidant Capacity in Heat‐Stressed Goat Bucks
This study aimed to investigate the novel application of unformulated Moringa oleifera (MOR) and its nanoemulsion (MO‐NE) in mitigating the adverse impacts of thermal stress on testicular hemodynamics, the antioxidant profile, and semen ...

Cinnamaldehyde as a Natural Antimicrobial in Donkey Semen: Efficacy and Sperm Cytotoxicity
Bacterial contamination of donkey semen samples is a major concern due to its deleterious effects on sperm quality; this issue is exacerbated during semen storage. Therefore, evaluating the effect of antimicrobials on sperm is of utmost ...

Restoration of Motility in Acrosome‐Reacted Boar Spermatozoa Induced by the Ionophore 4‐Br‐ A23187
The acrosome reaction (AR) is a calcium‐dependent exocytotic event required for successful fertilization. Calcium ionophores are commonly used to induce AR in vitro; however, this treatment is associated with a significant loss of sperm ...

Interleukin‐4 Supplementation During In Vitro Culture Modulates the Expression of Stress‐ and Immune‐Related Genes During Porcine Blastocyst Development
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of supplementing in vitro culture medium of porcine zygotes with interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) on their developmental competence and quality. Cumulus‐oocyte complexes (COCs) were matured and fertil...

Paternal SIRT1 Inhibition During Capacitation Imprints Histone 4 Hyperacetylation in Mouse Zygotes and Blastocysts
Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) is a NAD + ‐dependent deacetylase involved in chromatin remodelling. In this study, we evaluated whether sperm SIRT1 inhibition affects early embryonic chromatin dynamics. Sperm were treated with sirtinol during capacit...
