Abstract
This study examined whether chicken seminal fluid was a useful diluent for quail sperm. Both sperm motility and progressive motility, when diluted with chicken seminal fluid (90.4% and 54.6%), were significantly higher than those of Lake solution supplemented with 0.005% caffeine and 10% quail cloaca fluid (80.1 and 41.6%), respectively. This result suggested that chicken seminal fluid colud be used as an effective diluent for the analysis of quail sperm motility.
