The study has been divided into two experiments: one in which different dosages of medetomidine administrated are evaluated and the second one in which the timing of the catheterization after pharmacological induction is tested. In the first experiment, 18 cats were sedated with the recommended dosage of medetomidine (130\u00a0\u03bcg\/kg i.m.) while the other 18 were sedated with a lower dose of the same drug (50\u00a0\u03bcg\/kg i.m.). In the second experiment, three groups were implemented, each containing 25 subjects. In group 1, the semen collection was performed immediately once the pharmacological effect of the drug was reached; in group 2, the semen collection was performed three times every 5\u00a0min after the pharmacological effect was reached; finally, in group 3, Ur.Ca.P.I. was performed 20\u00a0min after the pharmacological effect was reached. All the different protocols permitted sperm collection, nevertheless the first experiment showed a better quality in terms of volume, concentration, total number of spermatozoa (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01) and quality of the movement (motility p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.05 and forward progressive motility p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01), using a high medetomidine dosage rather than 50\u00a0\u03bcg\/kg i.m. In the second experiment, forward motility was statistically higher (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01) in the first group and total volume was higher (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.01) in the second and third group, while other parameters were statistically not different. Results suggest that a single catheterization immediately after the onset of the pharmacological effect leads to a good\u2010quality semen with the lowest possibility of damaging the urethra and that a sedation with 130\u00a0\u03bcg\/kg of medetomidine leads to a better quality sperm collection than 50\u00a0\u03bcg\/kg does.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/rda.12626","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,20]],"date-time":"2015-10-20T11:55:02Z","timestamp":1445342102000},"page":"999-1002","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Influence of Different Protocols of Urethral Catheterization after Pharmacological Induction (Ur.Ca.P.I.) on Semen Quality in the Domestic Cat"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Cunto","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0290-958X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"DG","family":"K\u00fcster","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Bini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Cartolano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Pietra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D","family":"Zambelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Veterinary Medical Sciences Alma Mater Studiorum\u2010University of Bologna Ozzano Emilia BO Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/humrep\/deg199"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.243.11.1569"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_4_1","first-page":"203","volume-title":"Lumb and Jones' Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia","author":"Lemke KA","year":"2007"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.theriogenology.2012.02.026"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1476-5381.1980.tb10957.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0093-691X(05)80023-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1353","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.1978.173.10.1353","article-title":"Semen collection by electroejaculation in the domestic cat","volume":"173","author":"Platz CC","year":"1978","journal-title":"J Am Vet Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1098612X15583345"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_10_1","first-page":"885","article-title":"A review of the physiological effects of alpha\u20102\u2010agonists related to the clinical use of medetomidine in small animal practice","volume":"44","author":"Sinclair MD","year":"2003","journal-title":"Can Vet J"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.theriogenology.2006.01.054"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_12_1","unstructured":"ZambelliD BergonzoniML De FantiC CarluccioA 1993:In vitro methods for the evaluation of semen quality in cat rabbit and dog.
