본 연구는 제주도 축산진흥원과 농촌진흥청 난지농업연구소에서 사육되고 있는 제주마 5두를 사용하여 인공질을 이용, 정액을 채취하여 정액의 일반성상 및 CASA를 이용하여 정자의 운동성과 생사 염색으로 기형률을 조사하였다. 제주마 정액의 일반 특성으로 총 정액량은 평균 42.5ml이었으며 평균 pH는 7.3, 평균 정자농도는 평균 이었다. 정자의 운동성은 이며, motility parameters 별로 VAP 로 나타났다. 정자 부위별 기형률은 두부가 평균

The objective of the study was to assess the general characteristics and motility characteristics with Computer Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA) system in Jeju horse semen. Semen was collected from 5 fertile Jeju horse by use of a Missouri type artificial vagina. Semen volume and pH were recorded, and sperm concentration was determined with a hematocytometer and motional characteristics of sperm were analysed by CASA. The viability and morphological abnormalities were assessed by a vital staining. The average volume of ejaculates was 42.5 ml and the average of sperm concentration was . The motional characteristics in Jeju horse semen was showed . The percentage of sperm with abnormal head, midpiece and tail was 4.2%, 20.6%, 4.6% respectively.
