Sperm motility (%) and morphology in rabbits. A. Spermatozoa were released in medium and percentage motile spermatozoa was estimated by counting flagellating or non flagellating spermatozoa. B. For assessment of morphology, a smear was air-dried on a slide and stained with PNA and DAPI and counted manually for abnormal sperm heads. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of percentage motile spermatozoa for 5 males and as the mean ± SD of percentage abnormal spermatozoa. Nuclear morphology and acrosomal staining were assessed by examining 100 spermatozoa per rabbit.
