The study was conducted to understand sperm kinetics of Frieswal bull spermatozoa using Computer Assisted Semen Analyzer (CASA). Fifty bull ejaculates were collected from ten healthy bulls that were in routine semen collection. The semen samples were diluted in Tris buffer at a concentration of 25x10 6 spermatozoa/ ml for analysis. Rapidly moving spermatozoa represented the one with better velocity and progressiveness while spermatozoa with medium motility had low velocity with short distance travelled in spite of its ability to move in a straight line (straightness, STR >70 %). The slow moving cells had good head and flagella movement but they followed a circular path with straight line velocity (VSL m/ sec), linearity (LIN %) and straightenss (STR %) of 10.91, 9.00 and 22.54, respectively. Results indicated that individual sperm cells tracked by CASA as rapid, medium and slow motile were highly variable (p<0.001). However, the sperm motility between bulls varied (p<0.05) only in lateral head displacement (ALH, m) and beat cross frequency (BCF, Hz).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
