Creator:: Hegedus, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...

Creator:: Lamphere, Charlotte A.
Abstract:: Goats were the first livestock species to be domesticated by humans and continue to function as a key source of protein and economic value for many communities. In the sixteenth century, Spanish colonists brought goats to the Americas. Unlike other nations, the United States did not maintain a significant market...

Creator:: Lengele, Amber
Abstract:: Introduction: Swim-up has been considered a preferred method for separating non-motile sperm in an ejaculate. However, the long incubation time and equipment necessary for swim-up make this process clinically impractical. It was hypothesized that these problems could be avoided for canine applications with a shorter incubation time at room temperature...

Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to determine if an underlying biological cause exists for the exuberant reproductive success in free-roaming unowned (FRU) cats. The hypothesis for this thesis was that FRU tom and queen cats have reproductively adapted to man-made sterilization efforts by lowering the age at which they...

Creator:: Ramsey, Ann M.
Abstract:: The purpose of this thesis was to quantify sperm acrosome associated 3 (SPACA3) protein expression in the ovaries of young (3.0±0.9 months, n=11) and adult (10.4±2.8 months, n=11) queens. It was hypothesized that SPACA3 expression would not differ between age groups. Immunohistochemistry was performed on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded feline ovarian sections...

Creator:: McAllister, Anna
Abstract:: Reproductive physiology of South American camelids is unique, especially in comparison to other domestic animals. For example, mating occurs in a recumbent position over a period of approximately 30 minutes. Males are dribble ejaculators, and the camelid ejaculate is highly viscous making it nearly impossible to work with in vitro....
