Abstract:
A method for evaluating sperm fertility. The method includes the steps of obtaining a sample of sperm from an animal of a species; staining the sample with a fluorescent DNA-binding dye; collecting at least one image of the stained sample; determining an edge of a nucleus of at least one sperm within the stained sample in the at least one image; measuring an intensity of the DNA-binding dye within an area defined by the edge of the nucleus of the at least one sperm; determining an average intensity per unit area of the area defined by the edge of the nucleus of the at least one sperm; comparing the average intensity per unit area to an average intensity per unit area for high-fertility sperm and low-fertility sperm of the same species to determine if the sample has high or low fertility.

Claim (Index 28):
The method of  claim 27 , wherein determining an average intensity of the fluorescent intensity measurements obtained from the plurality of sperm in the stained sample further comprises\n determining an edge of a nucleus of at least one sperm within the stained sample in the at least one image, measuring an intensity of the DNA-binding dye within an area defined by the edge of the nucleus of the at least one sperm, and determining an average intensity per unit area of the area defined by the edge of the nucleus of the at least one sperm.
