title: Seminal plasma and progressive motility of boar spermatozoa.
abstract: Boar seminal plasma can enhance the progressive motility for washed boar spermatozoa. The effect is dose dependent and the full effect is obtained at 10% of the original seminal plasma concentration. This motility restoration (enhancement) stems not from a change of viscosity in the suspending medium. The component(s) in the seminal plasma responsible for such a restoration is non-nutrient in nature and was found to be heat labile but resistant to storage for two months at-20 degrees C.
