Different capital letter superscripts in the same row and lowercase letter superscripts in the same column indicate significant differences (). SM-EY: skim milk-egg yolk; T0: SM-EY extender without the protein; T1: SM-EY extender +12 μg protein/100 mL extender; T2: SM-EY extender +24 μg protein/100 mL extender. The parameters of the best quality semen are in bold. Values above the minimum progressive sperm motility (40%) for intracervical artificial insemination are indicated by italics.
