Abstract
The bladder of 6 lion-tailed macaques was emptied and flushed with sterile saline. TALP-Hepes buffer was infused and the animals were electroejaculated. After electroejaculation, the semen quality was determined in the ejaculate and the bladder infusate. Of the 15 ejaculates analysed, a mean (± s.e.m.) sperm count of 133.8 (±30.7) x 106 with 69.5 (±6.0)% motility was obtained in the infusate as compared to the sperm count of 72.4 (±38.6) x 106 with significantly lower (47.7 ± 5.8%) motility in the ejaculate.
