Antioxidant supplementation mitigates DNA damage in boar (Sus scrofa domesticus) spermatozoa induced by tropical summer

Peña, Santiago T. Jr.; Gummow, Bruce; Parker, Anthony J.; Paris, Damien B.B.P. (Public Library of Science, 2019-04-30)

Heat stress-induced sperm DNA damage has recently been demonstrated in boars during tropical summer; which could negatively impact early embryo survival and litter size in sows. Given the boar’s inefficient capacity ...
Susceptibility of boar spermatozoa to heat stress using in vivo and in vitro experimental models

Peña, Santiago T. Jr.; Stone, Felicity; Gummow, Bruce; Parker, Anthony J.; Paris, Damien B.B.P. (Springer, 2021-01)

Induction of heat stress as an experimental procedure in animals is commonly used to examine heat-related impacts on sperm quality. This study aimed to develop potential heat stress models that could be used at any time ...
Tropical summer induces DNA fragmentation in boar spermatozoa : implications for evaluating seasonal infertility

Peña, Santiago T. Jr.; Stone, Felicity; Gummow, Bruce; Parker, Anthony J.; Paris, Damien B.B.P. (CSIRO Publishing, 2019)

Summer infertility continues to undermine pig productivity, costing the pig industry millions in annual losses. The boar's inefficient capacity to sweat, non-pendulous scrotum and the extensive use of European breeds in ...
