Comparison of two different methods for evaluating boar semen morphology

The objective of this study was to compare the use and effectiveness of two different techniques for assessing sperm morphology, the conventional wet preparation with a of formaldehyde-citrate solution 2.94% and the smear using Bengal Rose dye. 58 ejaculates from eight high performance boars aged be...
