Table 4 Measurement results of the motility parameters determined by CASA (AndroVision® system) in the ejaculates (n = 20) of five peacock bucks at a storage temperature of 20° and 37 °C. Due to the fact that the statistical distribution of the circle motility was skewed to the right this data is presented by arithmetic mean (x̄) and minimum and maximum (range)
