Abstract

The aim of the present research work, carried out with 7 stud-horses, was to compare the total number of spermatozzoa recovered from the artificial vagina. In a preliminary phase, evaluation of the semen harvested with the artificial vagina was carried out. After 7 days of this procedure, the stallions underwent bilateral orchiectomy for recovery and evaluation of the epididymal tail spermatozooa. For the latter procedure, the spermatic cells had been harvested through the segmentation in 3 parts of the epididymal tail and its washing through a feedback flow with proper diluents. The counting of the total number of spermatozoa was carried out immediately after the procedures of their harvesting. It was concluded that there was a statistical difference (p<0,05) between the two used techniques.
