	abstract = {Spermatozoal motility is known to be influenced both by the  diluent used and by the physical parameters involved in the processing  of semen. We have evaluated the effect of cooling and dilution on ram  spermatozoal motility in a defined semen diluent. The results indicated  that ram semen is best stored at 15 C, this temperature being reached by  cooling at a rate not greater than 3 C per minute. Time (up to 60  minutes from semen collection) and extent of dilution (500 or 800 x 10 6  spermatozoa per mil) were found to have no effect upon maintenance of  spermatozoal motility.  },
