The evaluation of sperm motion is crucial for processing seminal doses artificial insemination. Here, the combined effect type and capture area three counting chambers, together with diluent employed, on motility was analysed. Ejaculates from thirteen Holstein bulls were used kinematic analysis ISAS®v1 CASA-Mot system, using two capillary-loaded chambers (Leja® Cell-Vu®) one drop displacement chamber (Makler®). Nine fixed positions analysed per type, considering central lateral longitudinal fields. Independent used, differences found between chambers. extender, no in x-axis observed Cell-Vu®, while Leja®, some parameters showed lower values centre than areas. In both lowest distal area. Results obtained diluents highly different a very low correlation them. conclusion, inside leads to significant changes dilution media introduce considerable patterns.

Computer-assisted semen analysis (CASA) is used in animal reproduction with the objective of evaluating spermquality, quickly and reliably. Currently, artificial insemination centers must have reliable systems thatensure reliability reproductive data. The aim this paper was to review computer-assisted analysisin livestock species. use CASA replace routine quality analyzes that introduce biases leads different inaccuracy degrees. In addition, if intrinsic limitations microscopy or sperm motilitypatterns are considered, it most likely considerable variability will be introduced which an impact on objectivity estimation. At first, type technology inaccessible, but they currently routinelyin research laboratories for evaluation samples species zootechnical interest..Computerized techniques able issue reports a high number characteristics, minimize subjectivefactor analysis, ensure better correlation fertilizing capacity spermatozoa by relationship between motility functional competence. together multivariatestatistical demonstrated existence kinetic morphometric subpopulations ejaculates ofdifferent species, eliminating idea homogeneous, formed single population normal distribution.
