I am an animal reproduction scientist and interested in improving fertility of dairy animals in India. Insemination by poor quality semen is one of the reason of repeatbreeding problem in cows in India. Foldscope will be a handy tool for pre-insemination quality evaluation of each dose of semen being used in the field for Artificial Insemination of cows at owner’s door step. By viewing semen quality cow owners will be also satisfied for the service being done for their animals and will be happy to pay for quality services. This is my first view of semen motility of frozen semen of bull after thawing. LED light attachment is very useful and creates phase contrast like view for visualizing motile spermatozoa.
