The object of this study was to adapt the triple stain technique to diluted and incubated boar spermatozoa. Freshly ejaculated semen was resuspended in MR-A diluent to contain 3 x 10(7) cells/ml (diluted spermatozoa) and was subsequently capacitated (incubated spermatozoa). Experiments were conducted to show the conditions required for optimal staining quality and validation of triple stain technique. The most satisfactory staining solutions for diluted spermatozoa were 2% Trypan blue at 37 degrees C for 15 minutes, 0.8% Bismarck brown in 30% ethyl alcohol (pH 2.8) at 40 degrees C for 10 minutes and 0.8% rose Bengal in 0.1 M of Tris (pH 4.3) at 21 degrees C for 20 minutes. Satisfactory results were obtained for incubated spermatozoa with rose Bengal when the staining time was 10 minutes. Triple stain technique seemed to be a useful method for the simultaneous assessment of sperm vitality and acrosomal status; consequently, it should be valuable tool, for use in porcine in vitro fertilization systems.
