By control of semen I mean those tests which are applied to a semen sample to determine whether the sample is likely or not to be fertile when used for insemination, and to determine the extent to which it can be successfully diluted. For those who are not familiar with the methods of artificial insemination, I will try to give a very general account of the principles of semen control and preservation, hoping that more technical matters may be brought up in the discussion.
