Table 3.
Quantitative comparison (mean ± SD) of viability and morphology of sperm. Samples were taken from 10 animals in each group. Data was analyzed using one0way ANOVA followed by tukey's post test. ∗∗∗P < 0.001compared with control group and ##P < 0.01 and ###P < 0.001 compared with CP-received group.
