Abstract

Changes of sperm heads morphometric and DNA integrity of freeze-dried bovine spermatozoa were investigated. Freeze-dried spermatozoa had stored in the refrigerator at 4°C for 2 years. Computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) was used in this study to identify sperm head morphometry, while for DNA integrity analysis using acridine orange staining. Samples were smeared on glass slides, fixed for 2 h in acetic alcohol and stained with acridine orange solution. After staining, each slide was examined at x400 magnification in a fluorescence microscope with axio vision (Zeiss Company, Germany). Proportion of fluorescence red and green emissions of the sperm head were examined and scored. These results indicated that sperm head had enlarged significantly (P<0.05) after freeze-drying process. However, freeze-dried sperm heads morphometry significantly (P<0.05) decrease after incubation for 3 and 6 hours. Changes of DNA integrity of freeze-dried spermatozoa significantly (P<0.05) decrease after incubation for 6 hours. In the present study concluded that (1) freeze-drying spermatozoa caused sperm head morphometric enlarged, whereas incubation time caused sperm heads decreased, (2) DNA integrity of freeze-dried sperm head is still intact during incubation 3 hours, and decreased DNA integrity occur in incubation for 6 hours.

Abstract

The objective of the current study was to investigate the effect of addition an amino acid or its combination with EDTA on DNA integrity and morphometry sperm heads of freeze-dried bovine spermatozoa. Spermatozoa were freeze-dried in medium with the addition of an amino acid glycine, cysteine, glutamine, or its combination with EDTA. Sperm head morphometry was identified at 400X magnification using Axio Vision(Zeiss Company, Germany), while for membrane plasma integrity (MPI) determined by calculation of the percentage of spermatozoa having intact plasma membrane by osmotic resistance test method and DNA integrity analysis using acridine orange staining. Sperm head had declined in size after the freeze-drying process, MPI of FD spermatozoa gradually increased significantly when FD solution was added with an amino acid solution (glycine, cysteine) and its combination with EDTA. DNA integrity of all freeze-dried spermatozoa treatments was remaining intact, no significantly different (P>0.01) among treatments. The present study concluded that the addition of an amino acid (glycine, cysteine) or its combination with EDTA could be reduced morphometric sperm heads and plasma membrane damage of freeze-dried bovine spermatozoa, however, DNA integrity of bovine sperm nucleus remaining intact after the freeze-drying process without addition both amino acids and EDTA.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to investigate the potential of snakehead albumin extract (channalbumin) for sorting X and Y sperm of Sumba Ongole (SO) and its characteristic. Semen was collected from three SO bulls using artificial vagina and the freeze dried channalbumin was extracted from snakehead fish. Channalbumin column was made with different concentration ratio of top and bottom fraction: 2%:4%; 3%:5%; 4%:6% respectively and BSA 5%:10% as control. Semen was put in top fraction then incubated for 30 min at room temperature then each fraction was centrifuged at 1800 rpm for 10 minutes. The pellet was evaluated for motility, abnormality, viability, membrane integrity and head sperm morphometric. The results showed that the channalbumin capable to maintain sperm motility in the top fraction better than the bottom fraction. Sperm viability and membrane integrity in control group were significantly higher (P<0.05) than all channalbumin treatment. BSA 5%:10% has highest proportion of X and Y sperm (69%:76.77%) compared with 2%:4% (42.33%:79.13%), 3%:5% (55.97%:75.73%) and 4%:6% of channalbumin (62.77%:68%). It’s concluded that channalbumin 4%: 6% was effective for separation of XY sperm with higher proportion.

Abstract

Pesisir cattle are native to Indonesia and originate from West Sumatra. It is known for its high environmental adaptability and can be further developed using a proteomic approach. The proteomic approach for testing the fertility of Pesisir bulls is an important factor in determining a potentially superior breed. Proteomic studies of reproduction in Pesisir bulls have not been widely conducted. This study aimed to identify and characterize functional sperm proteins in Pesisir bulls that are associated with reproductive processes. Semen samples were collected from 12 pesisir bulls aged 2–4 years and grouped into three age categories. Protein profile analysis was performed using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with 1D-SDS-PAGE, followed by proteolytic digestion of the proteins in the gel and protein identification using LC-MS/MS analysis. Protein functions were predicted based on analysis of biological annotations generated using UniProt, Venny, PANTHER, and STRING. Based on the evaluation of fresh semen, sperm motility in Pesisir bulls was found to increase with age. Proteomic analysis successfully identified 334 proteins in the sperm of Pesisir bulls. Among these, two proteins, ZPBP and SPACA3, were identified as involved in reproductive and fertilisation processes. Functionally, both proteins play crucial roles in acrosomal events during fertilisation. Gene Ontology analysis showed that most proteins in sperm are involved in various biological processes, including cellular activities, metabolic processes, and molecular functions related to catalytic activities. In conclusion, SPACA3 and ZPBP proteins were identified as potentially involved in reproductive processes and may serve as fertility markers in Pesisir bulls.

Abstract

This study examined the differences in sperm quality and metabolite profiles among X and Y sperm in Friesian Holstein bulls. It also tried to find specific metabolites that can help improve the accuracy of sexed semen use in humid tropical dairy farms. Semen samples from five bulls were separated by sex and tested for movement, live sperm count, shape, and membrane and acrosome health. The tests used Computer-Assisted Sperm Analysis (CASA) and regular microscope checks. Metabolite analysis was performed using LC-HRMS, followed by various statistical tests, pathway checks, and ROC curve analysis. The outcomes showed that X sperm had better movement and acrosome health, while Y sperm had stronger membranes, fewer shape problems, and moved faster. The untargeted metabolite study showed clear differences between the two groups. X sperm had more identified metabolites and greater average levels. The crucial metabolites found more in X sperm were D-(−)-fructose, L-(+)-lactic acid, and sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine. Meanwhile, Y sperm had greater levels of acetyl-L-carnitine. The pathway analysis showed that X sperm primarily utilized carbohydrate and fat processing through glycolysis and phosphocholine pathways to maintain their movement and membrane integrity. On the other hand, Y sperm mainly use a carnitine-based energy pathway to support their faster and straighter movement. The identified metabolites can serve as reliable biomarkers to aid in laboratory quality control checks and enhance the quality of semen extenders. This outcome gives a good way to make sexed semen more stable and reliable in tropical dairy farming conditions.
