In this study, we examined total number, motility and plasma membrane integrity of epididymal spermatozoa from cauda epididymis of bull after preservation at 4ºC. Totally, 23 testicles were castrated from 23 bulls (mean±standard error, age of days = 426.0±7.3, body weight (kg) = 379.7±8.4, scrotal circumference (cm) = 31.0±0.4) at Hanwoo Research Institute, NIAS, and transported to laboratory and preserved on 1, 4 and 6 days at 4 ºC. As control, epididymal spermatozoa recovery from 7 testicles was conducted after transportation to laboratory immediately. In experiment 1, we compared total number of spermatozoa among groups. Total number of spermatozoa from epididymis was not significantly on different preservation day of 0, 1, 4 and 6 which is 1778.0±304.7, 1824.8±343.9, 1228.4±91.7, 1201.8±178.6×106 cells/ml, respectively). In experiment 2, we examined spermatozoa motility and motility parameters (VCL (μm/s), VSL (μm/s), VAP (μm/s), LIN (%)) by computer assisted sperm analysis (SCA, MicroOptic) system. Percentage of motile on 0 and 1 day (88.9±5.2 and 85.8±6.1) was significantly higher than that on 4 and 6 days (32.6±6.5 and 34.3±8.25). Percentage of VCL (μm/s) on 0 and 1 day (93.5±7.6 and 83.0±14.9) was significantly higher than that on 4 and 6 days (36.6±5.1 and 39.5±5.5) (p<0.05). Percentage of VSL (μm/s) on 0 day (28.0±2.1) was significantly higher than that on 1, 4 and 6 days (20.2±3.0, 9.0±2.0 and 8.5±1.6, p<0.05). Percentage of VAP (μm/s) on 0 and 1 days (49.4±3.8 and 41.3±6.6) was significantly higher than that on 4 and 6 days (18.2±3.0 and 19.3±2.8, p<0.05). Percentage of LIN (%) on 0 day (30.7±2.6) was significantly higher than that on 4 and 6 days (23.4±2.7 and 21.1±1.0, p<0.05). Motility of spermatozoa was divided into 4 groups (fast progresive, slow progressive, non-progressive and immotile) based on WHO guideline. Percentage of fast progressive on day at 0 was significantly higher than that on 1, 4 and 6 days (0, 1, 4 and 6 days vs. 19.8±1.9, 10.2±1.1, 2.6±1.0 and 2.3±1.2%, respectively). In conclusion, cauda epididymal spermatozoa should be recovered within one day after preservation at 4 ºC to recover high quality of epididymal spermatozoa in Hanwoo bull
