The normal and low-grade ejaculates collected from the eight bulls under study were evaluated of various semen parameters. The overall means of HOS-G sperm was recorded as 56.50 ± 0.50 and 30.35 ± 0.66 percent for HOS positive and acrosome positive (HPAP), 17.30 ± 0.54 and 19.48 ± 0.66 percent for HOS positive and acrosome negative (HPAN), 18.73 ± 0.54 and 30.11 ± 0.89 percent for HOS negative and acrosome positive (HNAP) and 7.64 ± 0.47 and 19.63 ± 0.94 percent for HOS negative and acrosome negative (HNAN) in fresh semen of normal and low grade ejaculates, respectively. The overall mean sperm penetration distance was recorded as 19.75 ± 0.19 and 14.40 ± 0.19 mm/20 min in normal and low grade ejaculates (Table 1) with a highly significant difference between them (P<0.01). The sperm penetration distance (mm/20 min.. Read More»
