The present study was performed to investigate the in vivo fertility of frozen-thawed (FT) boar semen after intra-uterine (IUI) and deep intra-uterine insemination (DIUI) in spontaneously-ovulating sows. A total of 48 weaned sows were included. The sows were divided into three groups, i.e. natural mating (NM) (n=30), IUI (n=9) and DIUI (n=9). In the IUI and DIUI groups, the sows were inseminated twice, at 24 and 36 h after the detection of oestrous by IUI with 2x109 spermatozoa/dose or DIUI with 1x109 spermatozoa/dose. Transrectal ultrasonography was used to determine the time of ovulation after insemination. The results revealed that the …

The objective of the present study was to determine the effects of using supernatant (seminal plasma:extender, 50:50 v/v) as post-thawing solution and semen extender on sow fertility. Fifteen sows were allocated into the following experimental groups: Groups A (control), sows (n=5) were inseminated with fresh semen, using a dose of 4x109 spermatozoa in 60 ml of Modena™ extender; Group B, sows (n=5) were inseminated with frozen semen (supplemented with 10 mM of L-cysteine), using a dose of 2x109 spermatozoa in 60 ml of supernatant (50% v/v of seminal plasma plus ModenaTM extender); Group C, sows (n=5) were inseminated with frozen …
