Evaluation of sperm sexing technique using BSA column medium in Garut rams: Enhancing sperm quality, kinematics, and fertility performance for improved breeding efficiency.
Article in Open veterinary journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Sperm sexing techniques face challenges such as damage to sperm, lower fertility rates, high costs, and technical limitations, which hinder their widespread application... This study evaluates the effectiveness of BSA and albumin column sperm sexing techniques in Garut rams, focusing on separation efficiency, sperm quality, and fertility post-AI. Evaluating alternative methods like the BSA column medium in Garut rams could offers critical insights into the practical application of sexing methods, potentially improving the viability and practicality of sperm sexing in local Indonesian livestock.. Aim: This study aims to evaluated two sperm sexing techniques-Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) column and albumin column-in Garut rams ( Methods: This study compared BSA and albumin column techniques for sperm sexing in Garut rams. Sperm quality, kinematics, and sexing validation were analyzed using CASA and morphometric analysis. Frozen sexed semen was used for artificial insemination, and pregnancy rates were recorded. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Pearson correlation to assess differences and relationships among all parameters, with significance set at Results: BSA medium outperforms Albumin in motility, kinematic stability (Y-sperm), and fertility, though abnormalities and movement patterns (e.g., WOB) require optimization. Pre-sexing Garut ram sperm averaged 70.4% motility, 78.4% viability, and 7.8% abnormalities. Y-sexed sperm in BSA medium showed higher motility than in Albumin, while viability remained stable (74-75%); X-sexed sperm in Albumin had the highest abnormalities (11.2%). Post-sexing, VSL and DCL were significantly higher for Y-sperm in BSA (*p* < 0.05), but other parameters (VCL, VAP) showed no difference. Sperm post-sexing exhibited STR (90.06%) > WOB (81.88%) > LIN (72.72%), with WOB differing significantly for X-sperm between media ( Conclusion: 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.
