Relationship between bull fertility and binding of 3H heparin to spermatozoa in Sahiwal-Friesian bull

A study was carried out to determine the effect of lyophilised heparin binding proteins (HBP) on the heparin binding ability of bovine epididymal spermatozoa and to determine the relationship between bull fertility and total binding of heparin to spermatozoa membrane. It was found that epididymal sp...
