N. Matthews, N. Bester, and L.M. J. Schwalbach Department of Animal-Wildlife-and Grassland Sciences, University of the Free State, P.O.Box 339, Bloemfontein, 9300 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This aim of this study was to compare the quality of ram semen samples collected by means of artificial vagina and by electro-ejaculation. Semen samples were collected from 18 young post pubertal Dorper rams by both methods and analysed for quality by standard laboratory procedures. Results showed that both methods are suitable for semen collection in rams, but the artificial vagina collection method produces better semen samples with higher concentration and percentage of live sperm than electro-ejaculation. No differences in sperm morphology were found between the two semen collection methods. _______________________________________________________________________________________

The process of fertilization can’t be attributed only to the number of live, motile and normal sperm deposited within the female but especially to its functionality [1]. The hypoosmotic test or hypoosmotic test (HOST) is a functional test, by which the live sperm are subjected to an incubation in a hypoosmotic solution, the sperm with the functional membrane will allow the entry of water by osm...
