“…Besides ODF2, sperm tails also have tubulin beta-2C chains that have decreased in asthenozoospermia [34]. Fu et al [33] also reported several proteins found in buffalo sperm such as A-kinase anchor protein 4, which acted as the main structural component of sperm fibrous sheath; tubulin which plays a role in microtubules; and glutathione S-transferase Mu 3 and calmodulin which act as a mediated enzyme.…”

“…The expression of RIBC protein in cross cattle will reduce the sperm's functional ability to achieve fertilization [28]. Another protein in sperm has potential as a marker of fertility is outer dense fiber protein 2 (ODF2), which is present in the sperm tail structure and plays an active role in motility [32], and found not only in bulls but also in buffaloes [33]. Besides ODF2, sperm tails also have tubulin beta-2C chains that have decreased in asthenozoospermia [34].…”

“…Štiavnická et al [50] found that a high ubiquitin protein in cow sperm is closely related to quality and low fertility in bulls. Another protein that is also found in seminal sperm plasma, both in bulls and buffaloes, is clusterin [33]. The clusterin gene is located on the 8 th chromosome in cattle, and based on the research by Viana et al [44], this protein was found to be more abundant in low fertility bulls.…”

“…Fu et al [33] in their study reported that there are five proteins with abundant concentrations in seminal plasma in buffalo, namely, serum albumin (the main protein of plasma); zinc-alpha-2-glycoprotein, serotransferrin, glia-derived nexin, and clusterin. Another protein that has a potential as a molecular marker is glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx).…”

Fertility is the most important aspect in the efforts to increase livestock populations. Protamine and various proteins in sperm and seminal plasma are the results of the molecular analysis which can be used as a marker of fertility. Each of the proteins plays an important role in the normal function of sperm, starting from the formation of sperm structure, motility, capacitation, cell protection, acrosome reactions, successful fertilization, egg activation, and embryonic development. Finally, these molecular components can be a marker of fertility and can help to diagnose the cases of infertility/subfertility in livestock in the field.

“…Specifically, the effects of diet [65] or heat stress [66] on production performance and health status. In dairy goats, studied aspects included the effects of a high-grain diet on the hepatic and ruminal tissues [67,68], whereas in other dairy animals, most studies have focused on reproductive performance, for instance in buffaloes [69]; yaks [70]; sheep [71] and Bactrian camels [72].…”

Animal production and health are of significant economic importance, particularly regarding the world food supply. Animal and veterinary sciences have evolved immensely in the past six decades, particularly in genetics, nutrition, housing, management and health. To address major challenges such as those posed by climate change or metabolic disorders, it is of utmost importance to use state-of-the-art research tools. Proteomics and the other post-genomic tools (transcriptomics or metabolomics) are among them. Proteomics has experienced a considerable development over the last decades. This brought developments to different scientific fields. The use and adoption of proteomics tools in animal and veterinary sciences has some limitations (database availability or access to proteomics platforms and funding). As a result, proteomics' use by animal science researchers varies across the globe. In this viewpoint article, we focus on the developments of domestic animal proteomics over the last decade in different regions of the globe and how the researchers have coped with such challenges. In the second part of the article, we provide examples of funding, educational and laboratory establishment initiatives designed to foster the development of (animal-based) proteomics. International scientific collaboration is a definitive and key feature in the development and advancement of domestic animal proteomics. Significance: Animal production and health are very important for food supply worldwide particularly as a source of proteinaceous foods. Animal and veterinary sciences have evolved immensely in the last decades. In order to address the major contemporary challenges facing animal and veterinary sciences, it is of utmost importance to use state-of-the-art research tools such as Proteomics and other Omics. Herein, we focus on the major developments in domestic animal proteomics worldwide during the last decade and how different regions of the
