Sperm morphology of cattle and domestic pigs.
Sperm morphology was evaluated (using Blom classification) in 44 ejaculates of 11 bulls and 44 ejaculates of 11 boars. Significant differences in sperm morphology were found between bulls and boars. In addition, the correlations between frequency of morphological changes and morphometrical traits of boar spermatozoa were demonstrated. More morphological anomalies of spermatozoa were recorded in ejaculates containing longer spermatozoa.
