Frozen-thawed semen was collected from five bulls (F, G, H, I, and J), and three straws per bull were used to evaluate viability and acrosomal membrane integrity. LIA, live spermatozoa with intact acrosomes; LDA, live spermatozoa with damaged acrosomes; DIA, dead spermatozoa with intact acrosomes; DDA, dead spermatozoa with damaged acrosomes.
