Fig. 1 Mean values (±standard deviation) of the percentage of sperm with intact plasma membrane and acrosome (PMAI, %), assessed after 0 and 3 hours of incubation postthaw, in relation to the season of semen collection. Semen samples were collected from five Holstein-Friesian bulls (A–E), during summer (n = 43) and winter (n = 43).
