Detrimental effects of non-functional spermatozoa on the freezability of functional spermatozoa from boar ejaculate.

In the present study, the impact of non-functional spermatozoa on the cryopreservation success of functional boar spermatozoa was evaluated. Fifteen sperm-rich ejaculate fractions collected from five fertile boars were frozen with different proportions of induced non-functional sperm (0--native seme...
