Photomicrographic evaluation of stallion spermatozoal motility characteristics. 1985

X M Van Huffel, and D D Varner, and K Hinrichs, and M C Garcia, and P J Strzemienski, and R M Kenney

A photomicrographic method for evaluation of stallion spermatozoal motility was developed, and spermatozoal image and velocity characteristics were defined. The photomicrographic method was compared with visual estimation of motility in the same semen sample over time. Using photomicrography, velocities and percentages of individual spermatozoal image characteristics were determined. Although there was a high correlation between results of the 2 methods, results of the photomicrographic method were more repeatable than were those of the visual method.
