The objective of this research was to determine the capacitation indicators and acrosome reaction in sperm of Harris hawk (Parabuteo unicinctus) in freshly ejaculates and cryopreserved with dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) and glicerol, as well as the parameters of viability, motility and morphology in each treatment. Heterologous perivitelline layer was implemented as...
