The main purpose of sperm evaluation is to predict its fertilizing ability. However, basic sperm test results show a low correlation with fertilizing ability. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is an association between acrosome reaction (AR) and the incidence of subfertility of normal sperm boar, The production records of 22 farms were analyzed to identify boars with low fertility and/or prolificity, classified as subfertile. Twenty-two subfertile boar semen samples were analyzed and compared with 51 samples of fertile boars. Sperm were capacitated during 4 h at 39degreesC, viability was determined by bisbenzimide (Hoechst-33258) staining. Acrosome reaction was assessed with fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated Pisum sativum agglutinin. The percentage of spontaneous acrosome reaction (SAR) was not significantly different in fertile (4.5%) and subfertile boars (4.75%) (p > .05). Nevertheless, the percentage of progesterone-induced acrosome reaction (IAR) was significantly lower in subfertile boars (5.75%) as compared with fertile boars (10%) (p < .01). These results suggest that assessment of IAR in vitro may be a useful parameter to identify subfertility in boars.
