Since knowledge of sperm morphological characteristics can play an important role in semen evaluation and fertilisation, baseline data on sperm ultrastructure are required.Live spermatozoa were collected from the cauda epididymis from 64 impala rams in the Kruger National Park and 5082 spermatozoa from 40 of these Insecticide impala were studied by scanning electron microscopy.The mean length of impala sperm was 59.
23 @ 2.7 um.The morphology of normal sperm as well as Magazine Rack the occurrence of abnormalities were documented.
The morphology of impala sperm were compared with those of other mammals.New findings on appendages of the cytoplasmic droplet are described and interpreted.
