Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I invite you to submit original research papers and review articles to the second edition of the Special Issue “Animal Reproduction: Semen Quality Assessment”.
Semen analysis is an important aspect in the diagnosis of semen used in assisted reproductive technology. Different factors can affect the quality of semen of different animal species. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms affecting sperm formation is critical for the proper determination of fertilization capacity. Andrology is constantly introducing new advances in the laboratory evaluation of semen. Growing evidence shows the clinical importance of using specialized tests to assess sperm quality. However, further research is needed to standardize better testing procedures and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of such diagnostic methods. Andrological diagnostics is a continuously developing area of research whose main aim is to assess the reproductive potential of males. The purpose of this Special Issue is to present the latest scientific achievements in the application of modern andrological diagnostics techniques to assess the quality of sperm from various animal species.
