TL;DR: The objective of this study was to validate the HZA for canine spermatozoa, as a test for diagnosing canine male fertility status, and to avoid the effect of bad zona on sperm binding.

TL;DR: Improvement of IVM, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo culture coupled with ovarian tissue grafting, cryobanking of follicles, oocytes, semen, or embryos, with subsequent ET into surrogate females, may render this technology feasible for use in endangered wild felids.

TL;DR: Assays based on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and related techniques such as zona pellucida (ZP) binding assays and oocyte penetration tests, which can provide valuable information about a semen donor, an insemination dose or a method of semen preservation are presented.

TL;DR: Although substantial improvements have been made in canine semen assessment, surprisingly few parameters were correlated with in vivo fertility, therefore, further research is required to determine which sperm characteristics are of clinical value for predicting the in vivoertility in dogs.

TL;DR: Some of the classical and new methods currently used for dog sperm evaluation are reviewed, though not exhaustively, covering some aspects of the sperm cell that are useful in estimating its functional ability.

TL;DR: Results show that a commercial system for extending, chilling and transporting equine semen is an attractive and efficient method of shipping canine extended chilled semen.
