I. Frozen bovine semen samples were measured by flow cytometry (FCM) to determine if FCM analyses could be useful for sperm quality evaluation and prediction of bull fertility. Fluorescent dyes utilized were acridine orange, to measure sperm nuclear chromatin heterogeneity by quantifying susceptibility of the chromatin to denaturation, and rhodamine...
