| Abstract | Validation by sperm motility evaluation The significant higher expression of sperm flagella components ODF protein and Tektin 5 could result in an increase in sperm tail elasticity and strength in KK animals. Furthermore, the energy related enzyme Triose Phosphate Isomerase is significantly down regulated in Mafriwal. Stronger flagella and a greater energy supply in KK animals may have contributed to the increase in motile and fast moving sperm. In addition, more elastic flagella resulted in the higher flagella lateral amplitudes in KK. The Fibrous Sheet component 2, as a homologue of Glutathione S-transferase MU3, is up-regulated in KK and may be required to protect sperm against toxins and hence, increase sperm viability. Further investigation on these proteins will allow us to evaluate their potential as selective markers indicative of highly fertile and more environmentally compatible bulls for breeding purposes in tropical areas. |
