The complete thesis in print form is available from the University Library. / This study aimed at finding better ways of storing ram semen at refrigerator or room temperature with particular reference to ingredients readily available in Indonesia, namely coconut extract and quail egg yolk. Coconut extract showed consistent advantages with regard to sperm motility and quail egg yolk was as effective as hen egg yolk. Investigations were extended to examine storage for subnormal semen such as would be produced during periods of heat stress. Motility was assessed visually and using a Hamilton Thorn semen evaluation apparatus. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Animal Sciences, 1997?
