Electroejaculation and semen analysis in the La Plata three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus)

Abstract 10.1002/zoo.10053.abs The objectives of this study were to: 1) develop an electroejaculation procedure for collecting semen from the La Plata three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes matacus), and 2) characterize basal reproductive traits, including sperm concentration, motility, morphology, acrosomal status, and viability.
