Morphometrical characteristics of spermatozoa in Polish Landrace boars with regard to the number of spermatozoa in an ejaculate.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ejaculates (n=344) were collected from 35 Polish Landrace boars. The ejaculates were assigned to one of four groups according to the total number of spermatozoa in an ejaculate. Morphometrical measurements of spermatozoa with proper morphology were performed. Spermatozoa with smaller head length and head area were found in ejaculates with the greatest total sperm number (more than 120 x 10(9) spermatozoa) than in ejaculates with total number of spermatozoa of 70-90 x 10(9). The results of the present study suggest that the number of spermatozoa in an ejaculate influences morphometrical characteristics of the spermatozoa in Polish Landrace boars.

The experimental material consisted of 75 ejaculates collected form 8 Duroc boars. The ejaculates were divided into three groups according to sperm concentration in an ejaculate. An ejaculate was obtained from each boar monthly and it was used to make microscopic preparations to examine spermatozoa morphology. In each preparation morphometric measurements were taken of fifteen randomly selected...

Acrosin activity and semen quality (sperm concentration, ejaculate volume and number of spermatozoa) were assessed from March 1997 to March 1998 in semen of Large White, Pietrain and Duroc x Pietrain boars. Semen quality varied with season, including high production of spermatozoa in autumn and winter and low production in summer. Semen quality also differed across breeds. Acrosin activity of b...
