  • Method of predicting animal litter size using protein biomarkers related with fertility, and method of predicting animal sperm quality and litter size using chlortetracycline staining
    Patent number: 10288624
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of predicting animal litter size using a fertility-related protein marker, and more particularly, to the discovery of a sperm marker that is expressed differently depending on animal fertility, a marker composition for predicting litter size, which comprises an antibody that binds specifically to the marker, and a method of predicting animal litter size using the marker composition. Moreover, the present invention relates to a method of predicting animal semen quality and litter size by chlortetracycline staining, and more particularly, to a method of predicting of animal litter size by measuring the motility, motion kinematics or capacitation status of sperm. When the animal sperm-derived protein marker according to the present invention is used, the litter size of individuals can be predicted by analyzing a protein that is expressed differently depending on litter size.

  • NOVEL METHOD OF PREDICTING PIG LITTER SIZE BY EVALUATING SEMEN
    Publication number: 20090253160
    Abstract: Provided is a method of predicting pig litter size by evaluating semen, and more particularly, a method of predicting pig litter size using an in-vitro sperm penetration assay (SPA). This is a novel method of predicting in vivo fertilization using a sperm penetration assay in vitro after optimizing each step of the procedure. Thus, it can more accurately predict excellent individuals for producing smaller or larger litters.
