Abstract: Prediction of bull fertility is critical for the sustainability of both dairy and beef cattle production. Even though bulls produce ample amounts of sperm with normal parameters, some bulls may still suffer from subpar fertility. This causes major economic losses in the cattle industry because using artificial insemination, semen from one single bull can be used to inseminate hundreds of thousands of cows. Although there are several traditional methods to estimate bull fertility, such methods are not sufficien… Show more

“…During spermatogenesis, most sperm histones are replaced by protamines, which condense sperm DNA into a transcriptionally inactive state [16]. However, although unable to transcribe genes, sperm may synthesize new proteins from pre-existing mRNAs and alter proteins through post-translational modifications (PTMs) [17][18][19]. Seminal plasma proteins also exert major functions, influencing sperm metabolism, motility, capacitation and acrosome reaction, and fertilization, among other processes [20,21].…”
