Sperm motility and concentration, osmotic pressure, total protein content, and activities of acid phosphatase (AcP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase (β-NAG) were determined. It was revealed that higher sperm motility and concentration and higher seminal plasma protein content were obtained after stimulation with Ovaprim.
