| Sperm competition occurs when sperm from different males compete for fertilization. The aim of this in vitro fertilization study was to compare the competitive success of five males using heterosperm with an equal number of sperm from each male and four different sperm/egg ratios (5,000, 10,000, 20,000 and 100,000 spermatozoa per egg) in order to better understand variations of competitive fertilization. The roles of sperm motility and velocity were studied. Fertilization and hatching rates of the 5 males studied, with 100,000 spermatozoa per egg, were between 23.7-94.8% and 23.7-92.2%, respectively. Sperm velocity and percentage of motile sperm ranged from 85.0 to 137.6 mu m s(-1) and 2.0 to 93.5% at 15 see post sperm activation, respectively. The... |
