“…Although semen contains a variety of enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, their natural protection may not be enough to minimize the harmful effects of ROS. In such a situation, the antioxidant capabilities of semen can be increased by utilizing extenders enriched with exogenous antioxidants that either regulate, suppress, or block the oxidation process or prevent the generation of ROS in order to maintain sperm quality ( 17 ). Several NPs can be used in reproductive biological methods, particularly during semen preservation because of their antioxidant properties ( 18 ).…”

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different concentrations of selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) in the Beltsville Thawing Solution (BTS) extender on the semen quality and fertility of Hampshire crossbred pigs. For the study, semen was collected from four boars (10 ejaculates/boar) by the gloved hand method. Each ejaculate was extended @ 1:2 with the BTS extender and split into four aliquots. The control (C) samples were without the supplementation of Se-NPs, whereas the other three were supplemented with 0.5 (T1), 1 (T2), and 2 μg ml−1 of Se-NPs (T3) and stored at 15°C in a BOD incubator. Extended semen was evaluated at 0 (immediately after dilution), 24, 48, 72, and 96 h of storage for sperm motility, live sperm, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, DNA integrity, and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). The mean percentage of sperm motility, live sperm, and sperm with intact plasma membrane and acrosome, and MMPs were significantly (p < 0.01) higher in all treated groups in comparison to control at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h of storage. Sperm with intact DNA in all treated groups increased significantly at 48 (p < 0.05), and 72 and 96 (p < 0.01) h of storage in comparison to the control group. The concentration of 1 μg ml−1 of Se-NPs was found to be the best among other concentrations. In each group, 10 sows were artificially inseminated with the liquid semen preserved for 72 h at 15°C. Supplementation of 1 μg ml−1 of Se-NPs yielded the highest conception rate in comparison to other groups. In conclusion, supplementation of 1 μg ml−1 of Se-NPs in the BTS extender resulted in the best semen quality and conception rate during the short-time liquid preservation of boar semen.

“…Lambs, as a consequence, produce more growth and have a stronger immune system than dams and lambs from poor Se regions [20] . A role for Se in semen is to increase its ability to fertilize and enhance conception by reducing spermatic membrane lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage and decreasing sperm acrosome membrane damage [33] . However, the reproductive system is influenced by dietary Se insufficiency and surplus, which lead to decreased sperm parameters [34] or possibly lead to an approach that impacts fertility and infertility [35] .…”

This review explores enhancing the reproductive performance and semen quality of sheep for optimal production and profitability. One element that has caught the attention of many researchers is selenium (Se), which plays a crucial biological role in improving reproductive efficiency, boosting antioxidant activity, enhancing semen characteristics, and supporting the immune system in both humans and animals. Se contains enzymes, such as glutathione peroxidase, which help to scavenge free radicals within cells and promote overall health. By incorporating Se into sheep management practices, farmers can potentially maximize their production and profitability while ensuring the health of their flocks. It's important to make sure that sheep have enough Se in their diet or by injection to prevent damage from free radicals and maintain their reproductive health. Supporting the antioxidant protection system is vital for this mineral, which helps counteract the harmful effects of these unstable molecules on cells. Ensuring that sheep have access to enough Se helps to maintain optimal semen quality and reproductive performance. It is noticeable that Se can synergize with vitamins and minerals to give good results in enhancing reproductive performance and semen quality. This review encompasses the studies that have been carried out to evaluate the beneficial impact of Se on sheep reproduction.
