Epididymal spermatozoa from bull, rabbit and ram were incubated in homologous epididymal plasma or seminal plasma in a buffered saline-based medium with or without serum albumin. The spermatozoa were either diluted directly into the medium or were washed first. No effect of washing was observed on the subsequent reaction of the cells to the different media. A considerable proportion of the populations of epididymal spermatozoa survived (i.e. continued to exhibit motility) for up to 22 h at 30 degrees C in the simple saline-based medium. Initially epididymal plasma had a slight stimulatory effect on sperm motility in ram and bull but it had no effect on sperm survival in any of the 3 species. Seminal plasma stimulated motility markedly in ram initially, but in all 3 species seminal plasma was detrimental to survival: in ram even a 15-min exposure to the fluid reduced survival. Serum albumin also stimulated motility; it delayed, but did not prevent, the detrimental effect of seminal plasma, although it had no effect itself on survival. The effects of epididymal plasma, seminal plasma and serum albumin on surface properties of epididymal spermatozoa, i.e. agglutination, sticking-to-glass and eosinophilia, were also noted. These varied between species and there was no correlation between these effects and the effects on motility and survival.
