Journal Article
Marei, W. F. A., Khalil, W. A., Pushpakumara, P. G. A., El-Harairy, M. A., Abo El-Atta, A. M. A., Wathes, D. C., & Fouladi-Nashta, A. A. (2019). Polyunsaturated fatty acids influence offspring sex ratio in cows. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijvsm.2018.01.006

Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) can influence fertility in farm animals. Some evidence in mice and sheep have suggested that PUFAs may influence offspring sex ratio, which may have significant value for cattle production. To test this hyp...

Potential of milk mid-IR spectra to predict metabolic status of cows through blood components and an innovative clustering approach (2019)
Journal Article
Grelet, C., Vanlierde, A., Hostens, M., Foldager, L., Salavati, M., Ingvartsen, K. L., …GplusE Consortium, . (2019). Potential of milk mid-IR spectra to predict metabolic status of cows through blood components and an innovative clustering approach. animal, 13(3), 649-658. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1751731118001751

Unbalanced metabolic status in the weeks after calving predisposes dairy cows to metabolic and infectious diseases. Blood glucose, IGF-I, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) are used as indicators of the metabolic status of...

Sperm preparation through Sephadex™ filtration improves in vitro fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes (2018)
Journal Article
Husna, A. U., Azam, A., Qadeer, S., Awan, M. A., Nasreen, S., Shahzad, Q., …Akhter, S. (2018). Sperm preparation through Sephadex™ filtration improves in vitro fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes. Reproduction in Domestic Animals, 53(2), 377-384. https://doi.org/10.1111/rda.13117

Routinely, swim-up method is used to separate high-quality sperm; however, long processing time and close cell-to-cell contact during the centrifugation step are inevitable elements of oxidative stress to sperm. The objective was to evaluate Sephadex... Read More about Sperm preparation through Sephadex™ filtration improves in vitro fertilization rate of buffalo oocytes.

Influence of hyaluronan on endometrial receptivity and embryo attachment in sheep (2017)
Journal Article
Marei, W. F. A., Wathes, D. C., Raheem, K. A., Mohey-Elsaeed, O., Ghafari, F., & Fouladi-Nashta, A. A. (2017). Influence of hyaluronan on endometrial receptivity and embryo attachment in sheep. https://doi.org/10.1071/RD16232

An increasing number of reports suggests a role of hyaluronan (HA) in female reproduction and interest in its application in assisted reproduction is rising. However, there are contrasting data about the effectiveness of adding HA to the embryo-trans... Read More about Influence of hyaluronan on endometrial receptivity and embryo attachment in sheep.

Open Journal of Animal Sciences, 7(2), https://doi.org/10.4236/ojas.2017.72010

Uterine infection and endometritis cause infertility and economic losses in the cattle industry. The innate immune response of the endometrium is critical in the elimination of pathogenic organisms that invade the uterus in postpartum cows. This stud...

Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development? (2016)
Journal Article
Marei, W. F. A., Raheem, K. A., Salavati, M., Tremaine, T., Khalid, M., & Fouladi-Nashta, A. A. (2016). Hyaluronan and Hyaluronidase, which is better for embryo development?. Theriogenology, 86(4), 940-948. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2016.03.017

Our aim was to examine size-specific effects of Hyaluronan (HA) on preimplantation embryo development. We investigated the effects of Hyalovet (HA, 500–750 kDa; the size produced by HA synthase-3, which is abundant in the oviduct), or HA treated with...
