* Determine ejaculate volume.
* Estimate the percentage displaying progressive motility (linear motion) at 37◦C.
* Determine sperm concentration.
* Total sperm in ejaculate = ejaculate volume x sperm (ml)
* This determines how many insemination doses are possible from each ejaculate.
** >60% motile sperm = good quality
** <50% motile sperm = discard, especially if it is intended to be frozen
