Abstract:

The evaluation of semen quality was the primary method of predicting livestock fertility ability and the fertility related protein markers in semen were the basic materials to determine the potential of fertilization.With the development of proteomic technology,an increasing number of biological markers related to sperm fertility were found in livestock,which affected both the pregnancy rate and the litter size directly or indirectly.The discovery and identification of these protein biomarkers made it possible to improve reproductive performance through directive breeding,and provided theoretical basis for the prediction of sperm fertility difference between subspecies of sire.The research progress in semen protein biomarkers related to reproduction in male livestock was summarized in this article.
