“…Feeding programs provided to animals can affect reproductive activities and alter sexual behavior, morphology, and function of reproductive organs [39]. Se, Vit E, and Zn affect many biochemical and physiological systems in animal organisms, including reproduction [40][41][42][43]. Antioxidant enzymes limit the harmful effects of oxidant molecules in tissues and provide a defense against oxidative stress by scavenging free radicals [44].…”

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of varying combinations of dietary selenium (Se), vitamin E (Vit E), and zinc (Zn) supplements on antioxidant enzyme activity, and developmental and histological traits in testicular tissues of 1-year-old native Turkish ganders. A total of 48 animals were used and randomly assigned to 8 treatment groups (control, Se, Vit E, Zn, Se + Vit E, Se + Zn, Vit E + Zn, and Se + Vit E + Zn), with 6 birds in each group. In addition to the control (basic) diet, specific levels of supplements (0.3 mg/kg Se, 100 mg/kg Vit E, and 100 mg/kg Zn) were added to the diet of each treatment group. Antioxidative enzymes (superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione-S-transferase activities, and malondialdehyde level) were more advantageous in the testicular tissue of ganders fed with Se + Vit E + Zn. Malondialdehyde (MDA), which is an important indicator of lipid peroxidation, was not significantly affected by the dietary treatments. However, it was negatively correlated with the seminiferous tubule area (−0.34) and diameter (−0.35). Compared to the control, the highest seminiferous tubule area and germinative epithelial thickness were determined as being fed with Se + Vit E + Zn. The lowest seminiferous tubule diameter was determined in the control and Zn groups, while the highest was in the group fed with Se + Vit E + Zn and Se + Vit E. This study showed that the simultaneous supplementation of Se + Vit and E + Zn into the diet of native Turkish ganders had positive effects on the testicular tissue, by reducing oxidative damage and improving histological parameters without affecting their physiological status.

“…Hastono and Herawati (2013) stated that the normal pH of 5.9-7.3. pH is a limiting factor for the survival of spermatozoa in semen, where a pH lower than 6 leads to the accumulation of lactic acid from anaerobic metabolism with the ability to reduce the level of motility and viability of spermatozoa (Ridwan, 2009). Semen's color is often related to its thickness and fades, with a decrease in concentration (Zubair, 2017). The color produced in this study is cream and insignificantly different between treatments (P<0.05), which shows that the goat semen has good quality, with a clear cream color and a good level of consistency.…”

This study was aimed at determining the effect of zincbiocomplex and vitamin E supplementation on the quality of on local Kacang goats semen. Sixteen Kacang goats (males) aged 12-13 months with an average body weight of 13±1.2 kg were used. The experimental design used was a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) consisting of four replications. Artificial vagina was used to collect semen from 16 Male goats. The feed provided consisted of local forages (king grass, bengala grass, legumes) plus a mixture of reinforcing feed with a crude protein content of 14%. The observed macroscopic semen, characteristics were semen, volume, pH, color. odor and consistency. Moreover. Microscopic semen characteristics observed were spermatozoa motility, Viability membrane integrity and abnormality spermatozoa. In conclusiont supplementation of zinc-biocomplek and vitamin E has the potential to improve the quality of Spermatozoa.

“…Vitamin E protects the testis against lipid peroxidation, hence, promotes spermatogenesis and prevents testicular dysfunction and shrinkage of semeneferous tubules [40]. This vitamin also enhances the functions of testes in the form of increased in weight of testes and epididymis [41].…”

Aims: To examine the dietary effects of Prunus amygdalus dulcis seed meal on the sperm quality of male African Catfish (Clarias gariepinus). Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out at the Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture Technology Teaching and Research Farm, The Federal University of Technology, Akure for a period of 70 days. Methodology: Five diets with crude protein of 40% were formulated with different inclusion levels of P. amygdalus dulcis seed powder. D1 (control) has 0 g of the powder, while D2, D3, D4 and D5 has 5, 10, 15 and 20 g of the P. amygdalus dulcis seed powder in 100 g of feed respectively. A total of 45 C. gariepinus were randomly distributed into 15 concrete tanks (2×2×1.5 m) at stocking density of 3 fish per tank and constant water level of 1 m was maintained in the experimental tanks. The fish were fed at 3% of body weight twice a day between 08.00-09.00 and 16.00-17.00 hours for a period of 70 days. At the end of the 70-day experiment, gonadosomatic index and reproductive indices such as milt volume, motility duration, spermatozoa count, percentage motility, percentage fertilization, percentage hatchability and percentage survival of fry were determined. The qualities of the milt were assessed by aid of microscope and by fertility tests. Histological examination of the testes of fish fed each of the diets was also carried out. Results: Fish fed experimental diets showed significantly improved gonado-somatic index and reproductive indices over the control treatment. Higher gonado-somatic index and reproductive indices were recorded for the fish fed diet of 20 g/kg P. amygdalus dulcis seed powder compared to other experimental diets. Conclusion: The results indicated that supplementing diets with P. amygdalus dulcis seed powder enhanced growth and improved gonadosomatic index, and reproductive indices of male C. gariepinus broodstocks which can be exploited in fish seeds production.
