Abstract
Semen was collected by means of digital manipulation without a teaser from 27 dogs of various breeds. The mean age and weight of the dogs were 4.1 years and 27.7kg respectively. The volume of the combined first and second fractions ranged from 0.4 ml to 6.6 ml, with a mean of 3.1 ml, while that of the third fraction had a mean of 9.1 ml. The spermatozoa concentration ranged from 9.7 million per ml to 620 million per ml, the mean being 196 million per ml. The mean percentages of individual, progressive motility, live spermatozoa and morphological abnormality were 76.2%, 89% and 15% respectively. No correlation could be established between age and spermatozoa output per ejaculate or percentage morphological abnormality Similarly, there was no correlation between body weight and spermatozoa output per ejaculate. The most common abnormalities noted were coiled midpieces (22.1%), looped tails (20.8%), bent tails (15.0%), detached heads (14.4%) and coiled tails and midpieces (10.7%).
