%X This study investigated whether the sperm motility from Landrace boars improveswhen PGF2¦Á (Dinolytic ; 5 mg PGF2¦Á /ml) was added to diluted semen. Boars fromone large production unit, were manually collected; semen was either enriched withPGF2¦Á (group 1, n=38), either untreated (group 2, n=32). Total volume of semencollected, percent of motility and number of obtained doses were recorded. Thehighest sperm volume collected from the two groups is corresponding to ejaculatesfrom Landrace boars with PGF2¦Á supplemented semen (267.6 m)l. Regardingmotility, the sperm collected from Landrace boars with PGF2¦Á supplemented semenwas higher from the one collected from Landrace boars with untreated semen(81.37%) and very significant differences were statistically determined. Theejaculates with highest number of obtained doses is corresponding to the onescollected from boars with PGF2¦Á supplemented semen (25.21). Only boars from thefirst group (with PGF2¦Á supplemented semen) showed motility over 70% and even100%. The untreated semen showed motility values around 65-70%.
