Abstract
Semen samples of five Dexter bulls were mixed and the effects of mixture on the live/dead ratio, the percentage of abnormal cells and on motility and survival of motility as measured by impedance change frequency were studied. Altogether fifty-six samples and mixtures were examined. No effect of mixture on live/dead ratio nor on percentage abnormals was found, but mixtures of semen had a motility which was slightly nearer the value of the less active component of the mixture than that of the means of both components. No explanation for this effect is offered.
