Research

1) Evaluation of sperm motility and function and use in vitro and in vivo 2) effect of different gradient for selecting population of high quality sperm form subfertile male 3)studies for improving cryopreservation techniques of sex sorted spermatozoa   4) biochemical composition of seminal plasma in relationship with semen quality 5) Artificial insemination with a low number of sperm 6) Assisted reproductive techniques in bovine and equine species.



Increasing use of artificial insemination, in all species, particularly with shipped- frozen semen, needs a correct evaluation of sperm function. Male fertility is a complex event involving the ability of sperm to interact with the female genital tract and the oocyte. Objects of this project are: 1)evaluation of sperm motility and function and use in vitro and in vivo 2) effect of different gradient for selecting population of high quality sperm form subfertile male 3)studies for improving cryopreservation techniques of unsexed and sex sorted spermatozoa   4) biochemical composition of seminal plasma in relationship with semen quality.
