Journal ArticleDOI
Application of computer-assisted semen analysis to explain variations in pig fertility.
TL;DR: The aim of this research was to study the relationship between CASA motility parameters and fertility results in pigs and revealed significant effects of progressive motility, velocity curvilinear, and beat cross frequency on farrowing rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of combinations of in vitro quality assessments to predict fertility of bovine semen
TL;DR: It is suggested that quality assessment of thawed bull sperm using CASA and flow cytometry may provide a reasonable prediction of bovine semen fertility.
Journal ArticleDOI
The value of microscopic semen motility assessment at collection for a commercial artificial insemination center, a retrospective study on factors explaining variation in pig fertility
TL;DR: Although semen motility is considered an important parameter to validate the quality of the ejaculate processed, it only minimally relates to fertility results under the current Dutch AI practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Additional value of computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) compared to conventional motility assessments in pig artificial insemination.
TL;DR: The benefits of standardised CASA for AI is discussed both with respect to estimate the correct dilution factor of the ejaculate for the production of artificial insemination (AI) doses and thus to get more reliable fertility data from these AI doses in return.
Journal ArticleDOI
Boar Differences In Artificial Insemination Outcomes: Can They Be Minimized?
Jordi Roca,M.L.W.J. Broekhuijse,Inmaculada Parrilla,Heriberto Rodriguez-Martinez,Emilio A. Martinez,Alfonso Bolarín +5 more
TL;DR: Why testing young boars for chromosomal defects, sperm nuclear chromatin integrity and in vitro fertilizing ability can be discriminative and economically sound for removing these less fertile boars is discussed.
