Percent total motility of gerbil cauda epididymal sperm recovered from the epididymis after storage in the carcass at RT for the times indicated ( at each time point).

Time after euthanasia	Total motility (%)	Progressive motility (%)
0 h	98.3	85.0
0.5 h	82.4	58.0
1.0 h	82.6	61.0
1.5 h	95.2	86.2
2.0 h	87.9	73.2
2.5 h	75.6	47.5

Since we used one animal per time point, standard deviation could not be determined.
