The cryoprotective effect of Ficoll 70 on the post-warming survival and quality of Cryotop-vitrified donkey embryos
(Elsevier, 2020)Many domestic donkey breeds are at risk of extinction, there is a critical urgency for genome resource banking. In the present study, we examined whether the use of Ficoll 70 added to the vitrification medium containing ... -
Cryopreservation of donkey embryos by the cryotop method: Effect of developmental stage, embryo quality, diameter and age of embryos
(Elsevier, 2019)Cryopreservation of embryos has the potential to become a valuable tool for the conservation of endangered donkey breeds. However, there are several factors that can affect cryosurvival of embryos. This study evaluates the ... -
Antimicrobial activity of silver-carbon nanoparticles on the bacterial flora of bull semen
(Elsevier, 2021)The spermicidal effects of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) hinder its application in the field of artificial insemination. In this study, silver-carbon NPs (Ag@C NPs) was synthesized and applied as an alternative antibiotic ... -
One-step warming does not affect the in vitro viability and cryosurvival of cryotop-vitrified donkey embryos
(Elsevier, 2020)The objective of this study was to compare the effects of two warming protocols (three-step vs. one-step dilution) on embryo quality, post-warming embryo survival and embryo cell viability of donkey embryos vitrified by ... -
Cryopreservation of Andalusian donkey (Equus asinus) spermatozoa: Use of alternative energy sources in the freezing extender affects post-thaw sperm motility patterns but not DNA stability
(Elsevier, 2019)The aim of this study was to compare the effect of three sugars and Equex paste in a freezing extender for donkey sperm cryopreservation. Ejaculates (n = 18) were collected from six Andalusian donkeys of proven fertility ...
