First, semen was collected from three black-headed goat bucks using an artificial vagina. Then, the mixed semen was diluted with basal dilutions containing different concentrations of FA (0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 \u03bcmol\/L) and stored at 17 \u00b0C. Sperm total motility, plasma membrane integrity, acrosome integrity, reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) were measured during semen storage. The results showed that sperm total motility, plasma membrane integrity, and acrosome integrity were significantly improved in the 50 \u03bcmol\/L FA group compared with the control group (0 \u03bcmol\/L) on days 1\u20135, and the level of T-AOC significantly increased, while the contents of ROS and MDA significantly reduced. Meanwhile, the goats\u2019 conception rate showed that supplementing semen with 50 \u03bcmol\/L FA preserved at 17 \u00b0C for 3 days had no significant effect on fertility. Taken together, our findings suggest that adding 50 \u03bcmol\/L FA in dilution at 17 \u00b0C can improve goat bucks\u2019 semen quality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ani13152469","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]],"date-time":"2023-07-31T10:00:15Z","timestamp":1690797615000},"page":"2469","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Effect of Ferulic Acid on Semen Quality of Goat Bucks during Liquid Storage at 17 \u00b0C"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Feng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Animal Embryo Engineering and Molecular Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shichang","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Animal Embryo Engineering and Molecular Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430064, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Swine Genetics and Breeding of the Agricultural Ministry, Key Laboratory of Agricultural Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction of the Ministry of Education, College of Animal Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Animal Embryo Engineering and Molecular Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jin","family":"Chai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Swine Genetics and Breeding of the Agricultural Ministry, Key Laboratory of Agricultural Animal Genetics, Breeding and Reproduction of the Ministry of Education, College of Animal Science and Technology, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan 430070, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qi","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei Key Laboratory of Animal Embryo Engineering and Molecular Breeding, Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Hubei Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Wuhan 430064, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"115","DOI":"10.1556\/avet.2012.010","article-title":"Artificial insemination of small ruminants\u2014A review","volume":"60","author":"Faigl","year":"2012","journal-title":"Acta Vet.
