Abstract：
In this study, cauda epididymal sperm were collected from Amur leopard cats with various causes of death as well as Tsushima leopard cats that underwent castration surgery, and sperm quality was compared with that in domestic cats. A sufficient number of sperm similar to those in domestic cats could be collected from the cauda epididymis of Amur leopard cats. However, in old leopard cats, no or very few cauda epididymal sperm were recovered, although there were no differences in sperm motility and sperm abnormality. There were no significant differences in sperm quality immediately after collection and after freezing-thawing of cauda epididymal sperm compared with corresponding estimates in domestic cats.
摘要：
在这项研究中,从各种死亡原因的阿穆尔豹猫以及接受去势手术的对马豹猫收集了尾附睾精子，并将精子质量与家猫进行了比较。可以从阿穆尔豹猫的附睾中收集到足够数量的与家猫相似的精子。然而,在老豹猫身上，没有或很少有附睾尾精子被回收，尽管精子活力和精子异常没有差异。与家猫的相应估计值相比，在收集后和冻融后立即收集附睾精子的精子质量没有显着差异。
