“…Recently, Teles et al. () evaluated the use of the coffee husk as a floor covering for boars and detected the presence of caffeine, but not ChA in the semen of the animals. Even so, evaluations of this substance added to boar semen are important as it appears as an alternative to improve the quality of the boar semen stored for an extended period.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of chlorogenic acid (ChA) in boar semen stored at 15°C. Twelve ejaculates were processed into insemination doses at different concentrations of ChA (0.0, 1.5, 3.0, 4.0 and 6.0 mg/ml) or vitamin E (200 μl/ml) as positive control. Semen was analysed after 0, 24 and 72 hr of storage. ChA improved (p < .05) sperm motility, acrosome integrity and mitochondrial activity in all periods of storage. Furthermore, after 24 hr of storage, ChA above 1.5 mg/ml supported the sperm viability until 120 min after reheating (p < .05). Both ChA and vitamin E were similarly efficient in increasing the antioxidant capacity of semen, reducing the malondialdehyde levels before and after 72 hr of storage (p < .05). However, with 72 hr of storage, ChA at 3.0 mg/ml improved the mitochondrial activity over vitamin E (p < .05). In conclusion, results suggest that the concentration of 3.2 mg/ml of ChA is the best for semen stored for up to 24 hr. However, for semen stored for a longer period, 6.0 mg/ml or more should be used.

“…Despite well‐established benefits of green coffee for the treatment of various diseases, its beneficial effect in the treatment of male infertility in preventing sperm DNA damage has not yet been elucidated (Namula et al, 2018). However, two laboratory studies showed that chlorogenic acid, as the main ingredient of green coffee, has a positive effect on improving boar sperm quality following the frozen–thawed process (Namula et al, 2018; Teles et al, 2016).…”

The effect of green coffee and/or endurance exercise on sperm function in pre‐diabetic mice

et al. 2022

This study aimed to investigate the effect of green coffee (GC), chlorogenic acid (CA) as an active ingredient of GC and exercise, alone or in a combination with exercise, on spermatogenesis and sperm function in pre‐diabetic mice. Results revealed that pre‐diabetic status can have a significant adverse effect on spermatogenesis (Johnson score), and sperm concentration, motility, DNA damage and persistent histone in compared to the control group. Although lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS production, and persistent histones in sperm were high in pre‐diabetic mice, exercise only can improve sperm motility. GC alone only improved sperm motility in pre‐diabetic mice while CA alone, even did not have this beneficial effect. However, GC along with exercise, did not improve motility but reduce DNA damage, while CA with exercise, significantly improved motility compared to pre‐diabetic stage and to the level comparable to control. Therefore, based on this result in individuals with high DNA damage, GC supplementation and exercise could be useful approach while in asthenozoospermia, CA supplementation and exercise should be considered as an alternative approach. However, such an interpretation awaits validation.

-The objective was to evaluate the influence of coffee husks as floor covering on the aspects of animal welfare such as behavioral characteristics, body surface temperature, and salivary cortisol levels of stabled boars. Sixteen boars were housed in individual stalls; eight were maintained in a conventional system with a concrete floor and eight were maintained on a concrete floor lined with coffee husks. The experimental period was 60 days. All animals were filmed two days prior to the start of the experiment, on both the 7th and 60th days after exposure to coffee husks, and finally two days after the removal of the material. During this period, the number of times that the animals ate, drank, stood, sat, lay down, and dug was recorded. Furthermore, both body surface temperature and salivary cortisol levels were measured at the beginning and end of the experiment. The use of coffee husks did not influence body surface temperature. Salivary cortisol levels increased during the experimental period only in the animals maintained on coffee husks. In the morning, the coffee husks decreased the number of times that the animals sat and increased the number of times that they lay down. In the afternoon, the use of coffee husks decreased the number of times that the animals stood, sat, or dug and increased the number of times that the animals lay down. Although coffee husks do not change the behavior of the animals in an expressive way, they should not be used as floor covering for boars.Key Words: alternative materials, environmental enrichment, industrial waste, salivary cortisol, swine, welfare Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia
