Abstract/Description: | The study on collection and evaluation of camel semen was undertaken with a view to assess possible causes of low sperm motility in this species with an special emphasis on possibility of toxic effect of rubber funnel contact with camel semen. Besides, collection of semen over several years with traditional rubber funnel type of artificial vagina (AV), a separate experiment was conducted on 6 camels which were used for 114 semen collections alternatively with AV assembled as traditional rubber funnel (n=63) or with camel collection glass (n=51). Microscopic examinations of semen revealed that spermatozoa are densely clustered and entrapped. Initially they are free to move. Sometime, later they can oscillate their tails only. Diluted and chilled semen mixed gently and examined under microscope presents a heterogeneous picture. In certain fields sperms are clustered and entrapped, while at other fields sperms are free and progressively motile. A microscopic picture revealed that the heads of spermatozoa are embedded, tightly secured, appears to have glued together and tails only vibrating strongly. Some process of liquefaction os semen coagulum releases spermatozoa in batches which develop progressive motility. Semen samples collected either with traditional rubber funnel type AV or camel collection glass did not differ in % motility as revealed by t-test. It is concluded that low sperm motility is due to coagulation of semen and entrapment of spermatozoa. Rubber funnel apparently did not affect motility to any significant extent. |
