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.
