Morphometric Indicators of Spermatozoa in Rabbits of Different Ages

Abstract

This article determines the influence of the animal’s age on the morphometric parameters of spermatozoa in sperm obtained from male rabbits. For this purpose, three groups were formed: the first group at one year of age; the second group is from 2 to 3 years of age; the third group is over 3 years old. From each group of rabbits, 5 smears were prepared and morphometric parameters of spermatozoa were determined, such as: head length; head width; neck-tail length; length of the entire body in micrometers (µm)
