Semen morphology by Rod Howard & Peter McAuliffe, Livestock Breeding Services
Interpreting semen morphology results
Australia Association of Cattle Veterinarians have assigned the following thresholds to semen results.
 A tick indicates that a bulls semen morphology is above 70% normal. This means that bulls are highly likely to be fertile under natural mating. It is a preferred
threshold for single sire mating, and there is a high probability that this semen can be frozen and used in artificial insemination programs.
PASS: A result of pass indicates that bulls have a semen morphology between 50-69% normal. These bulls have a high probability of being fertile under natural mating,
but caution should be exercised mating them in single sires or with high mating loads. This semen may not be suitable for freezing.
