Y-sorted semen (SS) is designed for the deliberate production of genetically superior bull calves, thereby accelerating production parameters in a cattle operation. A limitation is that insemination with SS results in pregnancies ranging from 75% to 90%, that is a 5% to 10% point decrease from conventional semen (CS) in pregnancy rate per AI (PR/AI) (Maicas et al., 2019;Seidel Jr, 2014). Initially, SS was recommended for inseminating heifers after detected oestrus
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
