The methods described here will investigate the potential for improved fertility when using frozen-thawed sperm, while accounting for variation in time of ovulation.
The protocol used in this study con-sisted of a 3 4 6 estrus detection and insemination protocol, i.e., estrus detection was carried out 3 times daily and gilts were inseminated with frozen-thawed semen a total of 4 times, once every 6 hours.
One of the most influential advancements for improving reproductive efficiency has been the utilization of artificial insemination with fresh, cooled, but also frozen thawed boar sperm (FTS). This results from the need to disseminate superior genetics while minimizing disease transmission.
... hot chocolate - 5 boxes of mac&cheese - pb&j - bread (for the freezer) - 10 sealed packets of tuna - mayo - bread--can be frozen/thawed
In most studies, inclusion of these substances have led to improved post-thaw sperm quality and fertilizing capacity as a result of minimizing the adverse effects on sperm structure and function. Another approach is the use of different cryoprotectants.
