  1. * = P < 0.05; ** = P < 0.01
  2. PI = the fluorescence intensity of propidium iodide - stained membrane ruptured spermatozoa derived from fluorometric assessment.
  3. H258 = the fluorescence intensity of H258 - stained membrane ruptured spermatozoa derived from fluorometric assessment.
  4. H342 = the fluorescence intensity of H342 - stained un-ruptured spermatozoa derived from fluorometric assessment.
  5. LS = litter size of multiparous farrowings.
