Effect of age and breeding season on sperm acrosin activity in the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus L.)

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effect of age and reproductive season on selected properties of semen from the arctic fox, Alopex lagopus L. The experiment used 40 ejaculates collected manually from 6 animals (3 foxes aged one year and 3 foxes older than three years). Stati...
