Evaluation of sperm quality and male fertility: The use of molecular markers in boar sperm and seminal plasma

In pig production, the optimization of artificial insemination (AI) efficiency significantly relies on the accurate assessment of semen quality and fertility of boars. Traditional methods such as conventional seminogram techniques, although long-standing, exhibit limited sensitivity in predicting bo...
