Semen samples were obtained from 6 rams (3 Merinos: M and 3 Coopworths: C) by AV. Two criteria were used to determine semen quality after freezing namely, percentage of sperm motility and acrosome integrity. Sperm motility was determined by the conventional microscopic method and acrosome integrity was determined by a 'sperm bound amidase assay'. | Publication Type: | Thesis Masters Research | Rights Statement: | Copyright 1995 - Charlie Leelasiri | HERDC Category Description: | T1 Thesis - Masters Degree by Research |
