Figure 1.
Motility (A,E), velocity (B,F) and (C,D,G,H) membrane integrity characteristics of boar spermatozoa with different freezability. Figures A–D represent fresh semen, while (E–H) represent post-thaw (PT) semen. Values are expressed as the mean (±SEM) of 26 and 33 ejaculates from boars classified as having good and poor semen freezability (GSF and PSF, respectively). Values with different letters (a,b) are significant at p < 0.05. TMOT—total motility; PMOT—progressive motility; VSL—velocity straight line; VAP—velocity average path; MMP—mitochondrial membrane potential; PMI—plasma membrane integrity.
