Hi,

Normal sperm motility is considered to be greater than 50 percent. When the motility falls between 25-50 percent on a single ejaculate, this may not reflect a real problem. When the motility consistently falls below 25 percent, the chances of a problem are much higher. When the motility consistently falls below five to 10 percent, the chances that fertility is normal is highly unlikely. However you should not worry as your husband has sperm motility of 50 percent which can be taken as normal.
