Table 3. Effects of thawing procedure on fertility (%) after intrauterine insemination of cryopreserved epididymal red deer spermatozoa^*

	Thawing procedure		Overall Fertility
Stags	37°C/20 sec	60°C/8 sec	Overall Fertility

A	62.5	44.4	52.9
B	75.0	12.5	43.7
C	70.5	56.2	63.6
Overall fertility ${dagger}$	69.7^a	42.4^b	56.0

*Hinds were inseminated with thawed sperm samples from 3 stags that were equally distributed at either of 2 warming procedures evaluated.
${dagger}$ Overall mean values with different superscripts are significantly different (n = 66; ^abP = .014) between thawing procedures.
