Abstract: The article presents a study of spermatozoa in canine semen that uses spermatocrit as a measure of the its concentration. Relative techniques with its history and the dogs experimentation used are mentioned. Findings show that even dogs semen samples that have a high concentration of spermatozoa will yield a low percentage total solids. Based on the results, the preferred technique for dogs semen analysis is still the determination of the concentration of spermatozoa with a haemocytometer.
