Abstract(s)
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether single nucleotide substitutions within exon 4 of the
quality of AQP7 gene may affect the sperm cells of Polish Holstein-Friesian bulls. The research material
was biological material (semen and blood) collected from 60 Holstein-Friesian bulls of the same age.
The nucleotide substitutions analyzed are located in exon 4 of the AQP7 gene and are responsible for
missense mutations. Individual genotypes were determined using the PCR-RFLP method. Evaluation
of sperm quality in terms of concentration, volume, motility, and sperm viability was performed using
photometry, flow cytometry, and a computer assisted sperm analyzer. The above studies indicate that all
four nucleotide substitutions analyzed in exon 4 of AQP7 gene affect the individual quality characteristics
of the analyzed semen of Holstein-Friesian bulls.
