Addition of antibiotics to semen extenders was taken for granted many years, from the time that commercial artificial insemination in livestock first began decades ago. However, there is now a growing realisation this non-therapeutic utilisation antibacterial agents contrary current recommendations prudent use medical and veterinary professionals are advised follow. Furthermore, not benign, having negative effects on sperm samples, inseminated female, personnel potentially environment. The purpose review three-fold: highlight fact used extenders, with result considerable amounts globally animal breeding, recent studies aspects using purpose, look at possible alternatives. Recent changes legislation regarding occurred some, but all, countries, leaving question marks producers as whether should be added or not.

This study evaluated the impact of different processing techniques on microbial load and sperm quality in frozen–thawed equine semen to identify alternatives reduce preventive use antibiotics. Semen was obtained processed under rigorous hygiene measures from ten stallions, using four protocols: Simple Centrifugation with antibiotics (S+) (S−), Filtration (F−) Single-Layer Colloidal (C−) an antibiotic-free extender. Microbial culture media, viability motility were assessed. results consistent across protocols, except Columbia 5% Sheep Blood Agar where S− exhibited higher than S+ (p < 0.05). However, F− C− showed similar loads S+. No significant differences observed progressive motility, average path velocity, straight-line velocity or wobble parameters between protocols. Total significantly compared other treatments Thus, regardless antibiotics, proposed methods achieved traditional antibiotic-inclusive protocol terms most relevant parameters. These findings suggest that C−, combined optimized measures, offers effective alternative prophylactic extenders.

Storage of boar semen at 5 °C instead the conventional temperature 17 is an innovative preservation concept. It enhances protection against growth bacteria normally occurring in ejaculates and potential drug-resistant contaminants from environment. Thereby it allows reduction or even elimination antibiotics porcine extenders. The present article reviews current state low-temperature approach semen, with a special focus on antimicrobial efficiency fertility field insemination trials. Particularly role extenders management for achievement high biosecurity are elucidated. Insemination data 1,841 sows there different countries revealed equally farrowing rates litter sizes stored compared to controls °C. Microbiology obtained doses spiked multi-drug resistant showed cold storage inhibiting Serratia marcescens, bacterial species sperm-toxicity. Evolving concepts physiological male reproductive microbiome female provides further argument complete eradication dose by antibiotic additives Finally, motivation practical considerations use novel tool artificial pigs revealed, which might encourage transformation towards sustainable production following One Health approach.

Antimicrobial resistance is an increasing challenge in semen preservation of breeding animals, especially the porcine species. Bacteria are a natural component semen, and their growth should be inhibited to protect sperm fertilizing capacity female’s health. In pig breeding, where routinely stored at 17°C liquid state, alternatives conventional antibiotics urgently needed. Photodynamic inactivation (PDI) bacteria well-established tool medicine food industry but this technology has not been widely adopted preservation. The specific setting selectively inactivate while maintaining integrity functionality. aim study was test principle PDI boar using photosensitizer 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(N-methyl-4-pyridyl)-21H,23H-porphine (TMPyP) white light LED-setup. first step, photophysical experiments comprising singlet oxygen phosphorescence kinetics TMPyP determination triplet time revealed sufficiently high production reactive Androstar Premium extender, whereas seminal plasma acted as strong quencher. vitro with extended showed that established protocol preserves motility, membrane integrity, DNA mitochondrial activity efficiently reducing below detection limit. A proof-of-concept insemination confirmed vivo fertility after photodynamic treatment. conclusion, approach, innovative controls maintains fertility. This could promising contribution One Health concept potential reduce antimicrobial animal husbandry.
