Evaluation of sperm sexing technique using BSA column medium in Garut rams: Enhancing sperm quality, kinematics, and fertility performance for improved breeding efficiency

Abstract

The BSA column method is a cost-effective alternative to flow cytometry for sperm sexing in Garut rams, preserving sperm quality and improving fertility. The BSA column method provides small-scale breeders with an affordable and practical approach to sperm sexing, offering reasonable gender accuracy. However, its adoption requires careful consideration of potential trade-offs in sperm quality and fertility rates. While the technique's simplicity is advantageous, optimal outcomes depend on rigorous sperm quality management and possible supplementation with alternative albumin sources.
