It was concluded that the classical parameters assessed in deer thawed sperm samples can be good predictors of the ability to fertilize zona-intact sheep oocytes.

Tables from this paper

Fertilization capacity of cryopreserved Iberian ibex epididymal sperm in a heterologous in vitro fertilization assay

Results show that the presence of 2% ESS achieves better results than the use of no serum or the standard 20% concentration, and may be an effective method for predicting the fertilization capacity of ibex spermatozoa, and therefore perhaps that of other wild mountain ungulates.

Heterologous murine and bovine IVF using bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) spermatozoa

This study revealed the stability of the Dolphin sperm chromatin and the ability of the dolphin spermatozoa to penetrate zona-intact bovine and murine oocytes, leading to hybrid embryo formation.

The Quality and Fertilizing Potential of Red Deer (Cervus elaphus L.) Epididymal Spermatozoa Stored in a Liquid State

The results indicate that the quality of red deer epididymal spermatozoa remains satisfactory during ten days of storage in a liquid state, and that these spermatoozoa maintain their fertility potential.

Fluorescence Microscopy and Flow-Cytometry Assessment of Substructures in European Red Deer Epididymal Spermatozoa after Cryopreservation

Flow cytometry was better suited for evaluating mitochondrial activity whereas FC was more useful in the evaluation of DNA fragmentation, and European red deer spermatozoa stored in liquid nitrogen can be used for cryopreservation.

Relationship between the characteristics of epididymal red deer spermatozoa and penetrability into zona-free hamster ova.

It is concluded that the classical parameters accepted in assessing the viability of deer spermatozoa can be good predictors of the penetrating ability of the spermutozoa when satisfactory in vitro conditions are used for the development of the IVF system.

Scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah) spermatozoa are functionally competent in a heterologous bovine in vitro fertilization system after cryopreservation on dry ice, in a dry shipper, or over liquid nitrogen vapor.

Scimitar-horned oryx spermatozoa appear relatively tolerant of varied cryopreservation methods, and preserved samples exhibit adequate post-thaw function to warrant use for assisted reproduction.

Heterologous in vitro fertilization and sperm capacitation in an endangered African antelope, the scimitar-horned oryx (Oryx dammah).

Capacitation can be induced using cattle sperm-processing techniques, with sperm appearing most responsive to elevated CaCl concentrations, and the successful production and development of hybrid embryos after coincubation of oryx sperm with cow oocytes, suggesting that the two bovid species have similar fertilization mechanisms.

Species-Specific Sperm-Egg Interaction Affects the Utility of a Heterologous Bovine In Vitro Fertilization System for Evaluating Antelope Sperm

The results indicate that species-specific differences in gamete interaction may exist even between very closely related nondomestic bovids.
