[Collection of sperm from foxes using electroejaculation under halothane anesthesia].
A method has been developed for the collection of ejaculate from anaesthesized dog foxes. General anaesthesia was produced by inhaling 3 to 5% narcotan mixed with oxygen, the inhalation rate being two litres per minute. An electroejaculator with a bipolar electrode, introduced in the rectum, was used for the electrostimulation of ejaculation. The voltage needed to produce the ejaculation effect and the number of impulses depended on the individuality of the foxes. The average amount of ejaculate per one collection was 0.86 ml, the sperm motility percentage was 74.80% sperm concentration was 270.62 x 10(3) spermatozoa per mm3, and the average pH value was 6.87.
