“…Other researchers have concluded that higher saturation of phospholipids in the sperm cell membrane reduces seminal quality (Esmaeili, Shahverdi, Moghadasian, & Alizadeh, ; Martínez‐Soto, Landeras, & Gadea, ; Ramezani, Feltham, Suh, & Nutritional, ). On the other hand, the proportion of highly unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was positively correlated with the proportion of spermatozoa with intact membranes (Tran et al, ). That pattern was also observed in our study, by the increase in the percentage of spermatozoa with intact membranes (live/dead ratio) on D90.…”

“…The quantity of DHA in the human sperm membrane has been associated with higher motility and concentration, as well as changes in morphology (González‐Ravina et al, ; Gulaya et al, ; Safarinejad, Hosseini, Dadkhah, & Asgari, ; Tavilani et al, ). In other animal species, there are reports of improved acrosome and sperm membrane integrity in horses (Freitas et al, ); elevation of motility, viability and membrane integrity in roosters (Safari Asl, Shariatmadari, Sharafi, Karimi Torshizi, & Shahverdi, ); a significant increase in the semen volume and total number of spermatozoa in pigs and dogs (Murphy et al, ; da Rocha, Cunha, Ederli, Albernaz, & Quirino, ; Tufarelli et al, ); and improved sperm quality in water buffaloes (Tran et al, ) and sheep (Esmaeili, Shahverdi, Alizadeh, Alipour, & Chehrazi, ). However, the use of PUFAs as dietary supplements to increase the quality of semen or treat testicular degeneration in dogs has not yet been fully elucidated.…”

The objective of present study was to evaluate the effects of oral supplementation of salmon oil on seminal parameters and testosterone serum levels in dogs, following also the residual effects for 60 days after treatment. Nine healthy male dogs with proven fertility, weighing between 10 and 36 kg, ageing from 2 to 11 years, of different breeds, fed diets supplemented with salmon oil at the manufacturer's recommended dosage. The parameters measured were sperm volume, motility, vigour, normal morphology and concentration, live/dead ratio, membrane viability by means of HOST test and serum testosterone levels. Evaluations occurred at baseline (D0), after 90 days of supplementation (D90) and at the end of the experiment, 60 days after supplementation cessation (D150). Results (mean ± SD) obtained at time D0, D90 and D150 were as follows: motility of 76.66% ± 13.7, 92.77 ± 4.41 and 93.0 ± 7.90 (p = .001); normal spermatozoa of 69.11% ± 24.90, 90.00% ± 5.15 and 80.66 ± 16.04 (p = .05); live/dead (%) from 64.44 ± 22.86 to 85.33 ± 8.41 (p = .001); and spermatozoa (%) with integral membrane in the membrane integrity (HOST) test ranging from 76.44 ± 20.74 to 91.22 ± 4.68 (p = .05). Serum levels of testosterone (ng/ml) increased from 5.50 ± 1.13 to 8.84 ± 1.13 at D90 (p = .003) and decreased after 2 months (D150) to 5.13 ± 1.13. In conclusion, a 90‐day supplementation with salmon oil had a positive influence on semen quality and serum testosterone levels. The supplementation of omegas 3 and 6 at the ratio of 10:1 for 90 days determined an increase in concentration and motility of the sperm, and these effects were maintained for 60 days, with the only exception of testosterone levels.

“…The loss of PUFA from the plasma membrane of sperm causes a decline in the survival and fertilizing ability (Aitken, ), which is supported by Tran et al. () who reported that the damage to sperm plasma membrane mostly occurring during cryopreservation is one of the major reasons of reduced motility of frozen–thawed sperm.…”

“…CLnA is a collective term for the positional and geometric isomers of octadecatrienoic acid (C18:3) with conjugated double bonds. Feeding with sources of CLnA can affect sperm fatty acid composition and improvement of semen quality in boar (Liu et al., ), bull (Moallem, Neta, Zeron, Zachut, & Roth, ), ram (Esmaeili, Shahverdi, Alizadeh, Alipour, & Chehrazi, ), fowl (Blesbois, Lessire, Grasseau, Hallouis, & Hermier, ), buffalo (Tran et al., ) and horse (Wood et al., ). Taken together, all previous reports indicate that supplying CLnA can positively affect sperm characteristics that are known to be correlated with male fertility.…”

The objective was to assess the influence of pomegranate seed oil supplementation on the quality of fresh, cooled and frozen-thawed Arabian breed stallion semen. Eight stallions (n = 4 per group) received their normal diet (control group) or normal diet top dressed with 200 ml of pomegranate seed oil (PSO group). Semen was collected every fifteen days for 90 days. Stallions were reversed across the treatments after a sixty-day interval. In cooled and stored condition (2, 12 and 24 hr), spermatozoa motion characteristics, membrane integrity, viability, morphology and lipid peroxidation were analysed. In frozen-thawed semen, sperm dynamic characteristics were analysed by CASA, acrosome status and mitochondrial activity (evaluated by Flow cytometry) determined. The effects of treatment, time, semen type and their interactions were submitted to PROCMIX (SAS ), and means compared by the Tukey test. Also, collected semen samples were artificially inseminated to evaluate fertility and pregnancy rate after day 60 of the experiment. The results from fresh condition showed that semen volume, sperm concentration, abnormality and live sperm were not affected by dietary treatment (p > 0.05). In cooled condition, the higher value for sperm plasma membrane integrity and viability was observed in PSO group compared to control after 24 hr cooled and stored in 5°C. In postthawed condition, the higher value for CASA total motility and acrosome status was observed in PSO group compared to control group (p < 0.05). One hundred and twenty-six mares were artificially inseminated for fertility trial using control and PSO groups' fresh semen. The average pregnancy rates were not significantly different between control and treated group (62.88% and 65.90%, respectively) (p > 0.05). We concluded that under the conditions of this study, dietary supplementation of 200 ml pomegranate seed oil seems to relatively improved Arabian horse sperm quality during storage in cooled and frozen condition via increasing plasma membrane integrity, viability and acrosome status, but did not improve the pregnancy rates.

“…Mammalian testicular cells and spermatozoa contain high amounts of C20:4, C20:5, C22:5 and C22:6 FA (n-3 and n-6 PUFAs), derived from dietary linoleic (C18:2) and linolenic acids (C18:3), elongation and desaturation process (Rato et al, 2014). Thus, decreasing PUFAs in sperm plasma membranes leads to decreases in motility and viability owing to cryoinjury in the freeze-thawing process (Tran et al, 2016). Persia fat ® (PF) is an Iranian product with the same concentration of n-3 and n-6 FA as supplementary fat.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of protected fish oil (FO) and Persia fat ® (PF) on the quality of Moghani ram semen. For this purpose, a total of 96 ejaculates were collected from 12 healthy mature Moghani rams, which were divided into three distinct groups (n = 4) and were assigned to one of three experimental diets. The first group (control) received a diet supplemented with palm oil (PO), while the second and third groups received encapsulated FO and PF, respectively. After primary evaluation, semen samples of each group were pooled to eliminate individual differences, and then evaluated for semen concentration and volume. Afterwards, the samples were diluted with a Tris-based extender and frozen with a standard protocol. After thawing, motion kinetics, viability, membrane functionality and abnormality were assessed. The results showed that the group that received FO had significanty higher viability (quadratic), progressive motility (PM) (%), average path velocity (VAP) (µm/s), curvilinear velocity (VCL) (µm/s) (linear), amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH) (µm) (quadratic) and sperm concentration (linear) than the others. Additionally, total motility (TM) (%) and straight-line velocity (VSL) (µm/s) were significantly higher in the groups that received FO and PF compared with the control (quadratic) The results indicated that sperm abnormalities in the control group were significantly higher than the other groups. In conclusion, enrichment of the diet with FO or Persia fat could enhance ram sperm quality after freeze-thawing process.
