The invention particularly relates to microcapsules comprising: a core containing mammals', but not human, spermatozoids in suspension in a diluter, i.e. a liquid medium capable of preserving spermatozoids; an encapsulation matrix made of a polymeric material. The microcapsules are characterised in that said matrix is non-spermicidal and is made of at least one semi-synthetic glyceride, i.e. at least one glyceride of C8-C18 saturated fatty acids having a fusion temperature of about 35 to 47° C. The invention also relates to an insemination dose containing such microcapsules, and to a method for producing the same.
