The assessment of the quality of the semen taken from the breeding rams of the breed of Tsigaia Wool-meat-milk has been the subject of our research. As a result of the research it was found that the volume of sperm was 1.38 ± 0.40 ml, the sperm mobility of 81.17%, the sperm concentration of 1.47 ± 0.10 mlrd/ml and the number of sperm moving in a straight line of 53.5%. The spermogram indices of the semen obtained from the breed of Tsigaia wool-meat-milk correspond to the standard of the Tsigaia breed and allow its use in artificial sowing of sheep. In the subsequent followup, research was conducted on the kinetics of freshly collected raw sperm.
