Ejaculates were diluted in a modified Tris-DMSO diluent, and those samples with a forward motility of <70% were irradiated with 62.5, 125, 250 or 500 R. In females inseminated with irradiated semen, preimplantation embryo loss averaged 53.0, 39.8, 57.8 and 68.4% resp. v 14.5% for naturally-mated control females and 23.3% for artificially-inseminated control females.
