Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to submit original research papers and review articles to the 3rd Edition of the Special Issue entitled ‘Animal Reproduction: Semen Quality Assessment’.
A male's fertility is primarily determined by his semen quality. Semen evaluation is a comprehensive diagnostic process that allows for the prediction of fertilization outcomes. Sperm is a differentiated germ cell whose primary purpose is to reach the oocyte and participate in the fertilization process. Sperm from different animal species differ in structure and the mechanisms underlying their function. This variability is determined by many factors that are crucial for determining the fertilizing capacity of sperm. Due to the constantly evolving progress in andrological research, particularly resulting from the implementation of specialized tests for semen quality analysis, there is a need for further research related to the assessment of male reproductive potential. Such assessment takes on a particular significance when assisted reproductive technologies are used.
The aim of this Special Issue is to present scientific achievements in the field of the application of the latest andrological diagnostic techniques in the assessment of sperm cellular structures to improve male reproductive performance.
