“…The iron content was found positively correlated with calcium content as a high concentration of both the element negatively affect physical parameters. Singh and Gangwar (1977) reported similar finding in semen instead of serum. As copper is an important constituent of enzyme tyrosinase, Uricase and also act as a catalyst in the oxidation of sulphhydral group.…”

Vaccination is one of the major stress factors that affects the semen productivity of the breeding bulls who showed consistent higher body temperature for several days. Therefore, a study was planned to assess the ameliorative strategy of vaccination stress by Vitamin E supplementation on twelve Holstein-Friesian crossbred bulls (432 ejaculates) maintained at Artificial Breeding Research Centre, ICAR-National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal. The bulls were vaccinated for FMD @ 3 ml by SC injections. In treatment group (6 bulls), Vitamin E was supplemented @ 4000 I.U./bull/day, ten weeks before and nine weeks after vaccination and another group without Vitamin E supplementation served as control. Vitamin E supplementation resulted in significantly reduced sperm abnormalities and improved sperm concentration, total motile spermatozoa (106), total live spermatozoa per ml (106), total sperm (106), live sperm/ml and total dose harvested in treated group as compared to control. Individual motility (%), mass motility, NEC (%), HOST (%) and IA (%) were higher in the treatment group, but it was not significant. Better blood biochemical profile of bull was evident in Vitamin E supplemented group though it was not significant statistically. It can be concluded that Vitamin E supplementation in vaccinated bulls was effective in ameliorating vaccination stress to some extent.

“…However, significant variations in sperm concentration were observed up to 126 months of age, after which the concentration started to decline in this study. It is worth noting that Singh et al (1967) found no significant differences between age groups in Haryana bulls.…”

Background: The choice of superior herd sires is essential for genetic improvement in dairy cattle, with sperm quality serving as a key factor. Bull semen’s superior qualities are essential for accelerating genetic improvement through AI. These characteristics are affected by several factors, including the environment, management techniques, physiological condition and hereditary factors. This study involved in evaluating genetic and non-genetic factors influencing seminal attributes. Methods: Data on 1,85,413 ejaculates from nine genetic groups viz. Jersey, Holstein Friesian, crossbred Jersey, crossbred Holstein Friesian, Bargur, Kangayam, Pulikulam, Umblachery and Red Sindhi were collected from four frozen semen stations of Tamil Nadu State. Semen production data viz. ejaculate volume (mL), spermatozoa concentration (million per mL), initial motility (percentage), post-thaw motility (percentage), total initial motile spermatozoa and total post-thaw motile spermatozoa were also examined for various genetic and non-genetic factors affecting them using linear mixed model with repeated measures. Result: The overall estimated marginal means for Volume of ejaculate, Concentration of spermatozoa, Initial motility, Total initial motile spermatozoa per ejaculate, Total doses per ejaculate, Post-thaw motility and Total post-thaw motile spermatozoa per ejaculate were 3.11 ± 0.11 (mL), 963 ± 30.60 (106/mL), 79.50 ± 1.29 (per cent), 1847 ± 118 (106), 151.00 ± 7.20, 51.00 ± 0.42 (per cent) and 1535 ± 80.20 (106) respectively.The effect of all genetic and non-genetic factors (farms, ejaculates, period, seasons, age) were observed to be significantly influencing the seminal traits considered in the study. However, the estimated marginal means of each trait displayed varied ranges of mean against non-genetic factors.

“…Therefore, in molecular, morphological, and epidemiological studies related to CE, this factor should be taken into consideration. Studies on this topic have indicated that the fertility rates of cysts vary depending on geographic location, the species of the infected host, the location, size, and type of the cysts [33][34][35].…”

The study aims to molecularly characterize the mitochondrial NAD1 gene region in cyst samples from humans, sheep, and cattle with cystic echinococcosis. It used 75 human cyst materials and 25 each from sheep and cattle. All 125 samples underwent processes for molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus's NAD1 mitochondrial gene region. The distribution of hydatid cyst samples from humans showed similar lung localization in both genders, but a higher liver localization in males. In cattle, liver localization was primary, while in sheep, lung localization was more common. All samples produced a band of 864 bp in size upon amplification. Sequence comparison of the isolates with Genbank entries confirmed all our samples as E. granulosus sensu stricto. Among these, nine were identified as G3 strain and 51 as G1 strain. Host-wise, 24 of 30 human samples were G1, 6 were G3; in sheep, 13 were G1, 2 were G3; in cattle, 14 were G1 and one was G3. Comparison of the 51 G1 strain samples with Genbank's reference G1 strains showed that 42 matched 100%, while 9 had mutations in different regions, a new finding. The study concluded that the G1 strain is dominant in all three hosts and identified various mutations. These findings contribute to the molecular epidemiological data of cystic echinococcosis.
