Abstrakt: | For over a century, scientists have attempted to develop techniques to accurately predict the fertility potential of a male's semen sample. In most livestock species, the sire is responsible for multiple pregnancies per year and up to hundreds of thousands of pregnancies if used for artificial insemination. Use of subfertile or infertile sires can have devastating impacts in regard to the reproductive efficiency of a cow herd. Despite the rapid expansion of fertility studies through advancements in molecular, genomic, and computer techniques, our understanding of male fertility is still far from complete. This article will provide an overview of the impact of the sire in pregnancy loss. (Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.) |
