Fertility of the bulls is evaluated with andrological examinations and semen analyses, such as morphology. However, little attention has been paid to the inheritance of bull fertility. In this study, we correlated sperm morphology, birth year and station of 695 <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">AI<\/jats:styled-content> bulls with calving rate (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CR<\/jats:styled-content>).

The correlation between the proportion of normal spermatozoa and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CR<\/jats:styled-content> was significant (p\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.001).
