Summary.

The proportion of motile spermatozoa in bull semen diluted with phosphate-buffered saline, citrate or milk has been estimated both photographically and with an image-analysing computer. The two methods produced similar estimates. The proportion of noneosinophilic spermatozoa was higher than the proportion of immotile spermatozoa, particularly when fluoride or formaldehyde was added to the diluents. The proportion of non-eosinophilic spermatozoa in diluents containing formaldehyde was the same as in the original semen.

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
