Enhancing Fertility Potential of Cryopreserved Ring-Necked Pheasant Semen Through Antibiotic-Mediated Control of Bacterial Contamination
This study supports the use of antibiotic-enriched extenders to reduce bacterial contamination and enhance reproductive outcomes in avian AI programs, with potential benefits for conservation. Further work is recommended to elucidate mechanisms and optimize antibiotic concentration for long-term storage.
