TL;DR: Although SC was superior to video imaging for estimating testicular size, ultrasonographic imaging of the testes has considerable potential for the evaluation of testicular function in bulls.

TL;DR: The here introduced lecithin extender / enhancer combination is a useful tool for prolonged storage of cooled semen with excellent longevity and binding ability; addition of tyrosine to the extender did not improve semen quality.

TL;DR: The technique described in this study is useful for obtaining large numbers of oocytes from individual animals during a defined period and provides a way to increase the number of offspring from genetically valuable animals even when they are affected by infertility due to adhesions or deformations of the oviduct and/or uterus.

TL;DR: This study modified the neuroinvasiveness of pseudorabies virus strain Bartha, a commonly utilized trans-synaptic tract-tracer to facilitate detection of cellular mRNAs in neurons infected with the virus, and inserted the lacZ or the GFP genes into the genomic loci containing the putative latency-associated transcript promoter (P(LAT2), resulting in the disruption of the promoter function.
