In the present study spermatological features of Awassi, Akkaraman, Corriedale and Merino rams, a total of 20 animals, in a flock of Konya Central Animal Research Institute were determined. Semen samples of rams were collected by artifical vagina and examined for semen volume, individual motility, sperm concentration, live/dead and abnormal spermatozoon rates.

As a result, all features of the semen samples were in normal limits but there were some differences in characteristics between the breeds.
