CHAPTER 3.3<br />

Table 1: Average values <strong>of</strong> concentration (CONC), morphology (MORF), total (TM) <strong>and</strong> progressive<br />

motility (PM), <strong>and</strong> velocity (VEL) <strong>of</strong> equine semen at time 1 (T1) <strong>and</strong> time 2 (T2) obtained with light<br />

microscopy (LM), SQA-Ve, <strong>and</strong> CASA. Within devices (SQA-Ve <strong>and</strong> CASA only) values at T1 <strong>and</strong> T2<br />

were compared. Values with the same superscript ( a,b,c ) are significantly different. For agreement,<br />

values (at T1 only) between SQA-Ve <strong>and</strong> LM, <strong>and</strong> CASA <strong>and</strong> LM, respectively, were compared. Values<br />

with the same superscript ( ♠,♣,♥,♦ ) are significantly different.<br />
