How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Scrotal Circumference, Progressive Motility, and Normal Morphology.
  2. Set Concentration and Physical Exam Score.
  3. Review Total BSE Score (/100) and Classification.
  4. Use Scrotal Circumference Score (/40) and Motility Score (/20) to inform your decision.
  5. Use the chart to visualize the results and explore different scenarios by adjusting inputs.

How this is calculated

Worked example, using the default values

  1. Identify Input Parameters
    4 parameters
    Scrotal Circumference = 35, Progressive Motility = 60, Normal Morphology = 70, Concentration = 500 = 5 input(s) provided
  2. Calculate Total BSE Score
    Total BSE Score
    83 = 83
  3. Calculate Classification
    Satisfactory Potential Breeder = Satisfactory Potential Breeder
  4. Calculate Scrotal Circumference Score
    Scrotal Circumference Score
    30 = 30
  5. Calculate Motility Score
    Motility Score
    15 = 15
