Artificial insemination with frozen cauda epididymal sperm was performed in cats. Sperm were transmigrated from the epididymides in 10 male cats. The mean sperm motility and viability were 67% and 82.5%, respectively, and 11.6 x 10(7) sperm were recovered. The mean sperm motility after thawing was 24.0%. Eleven female cats received unilateral intrauterine insemination of 5 x 10(7) sperm, and the conception rate was 27.3% (3/11). This was the first case of conception obtained with frozen epididymal sperm in cats.
对猫进行了冷冻附睾尾部精子人工授精。从10只雄猫的附睾中采集精子。精子平均活力和存活率分别为67%和82.5%，共采集到11.6×10⁷个精子。解冻后精子平均活力为24.0%。11只雌猫接受了5×10⁷个精子的单侧子宫内授精，受孕率为27.3%（3/11）。这是首例利用猫冷冻附睾精子获得受孕的案例。
