This study compares the industry standard method of semen analysis with the use of SpermVision for evaluating measurable parameters of chilled stallion spermatozoa. The Materials and Methods section details the collection of ejaculates, chilling to 5°C, manual assessment of concentration and motility, and SpermVision analysis over 8 fields in 3 chambers using ANOVA and Bonferroni post-hoc tests. The Results and Conclusion sections provide insights into the efficiency and reliability of SpermVision in sperm analysis. References include important works in the field of Theriogenology and Animal Reproduction Science by renowned researchers.
