- The aim of this research was to prove the principal spermatological characteristics by invitro datas in Denizli cocks.

İn this expertment, 10 Denizli cocks were treated. Body-weight of the cocks were measured at the beginning of research. During the research, semen was collected from cocks by massage method three times in a week. The spermatological charactertstics of samples which were collected from cocks are as follows: (1) Ejaculate volume averaged 0.6 ± 0.1 ml., (2) sperm motility 65.0 ± 2.9 %, (3) sperm concentration 2.0 ± 0.2 x 109/ml., percantage of abnormal sperm 11.3 ± 1.6 % and (5) pH 7.5 ± 0.1.

Acrosome, head, middle piece and tail deformations were recorded as averaged 0.9 ± 0.1 %, 1.0 ± 0.1 %, 6.9 ± 0.9 % and 2.1 ± 0.8 % respectively. Keywords :
