Abstract:
|
Boar sperm collected for artificial insemination may be damaged by short-term storage.
However, dietary flaxseed appears to be a simple and effective way to improve the motility and viability of both fresh and stored boar sperm.
Dietary flaxseed is a plant-based source of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are essential nutrients for improving boar sperm health. |
