    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive Biology
    • Andrology
    • Semen Analysis

    Background:

    • Predicting male fertility from laboratory semen evaluation is a long-standing research goal.
    • Semen viability is critical for artificial insemination and successful semen preservation techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify appropriate tests for spermatozoan viability that correlate with fertility.
    • To address challenges in semen quality assessment for fertility prediction.

    Main Methods:

    • The study discusses issues related to the repeatability and objectivity of semen tests.
    • It examines the interplay between semen quality and quantity in inseminates.
    • Consideration is given to latent cell injury in preserved semen (e.g., frozen semen).

    Main Results:

    • Poor test repeatability and subjectivity are significant challenges in semen evaluation.
    • The interaction of semen quality and quantity impacts insemination success.
    • Identifying specific viability traits crucial for sperm function in vivo is complex.

    Conclusions:

    • Multiple semen viability tests or traits are necessary for comprehensive evaluation of semen preservation systems.
    • Accurate assessment of spermatozoan viability is key to predicting fertility and improving artificial insemination outcomes.
