Effect of Different Antioxidant Sources Added to Buffalo Semen Extender During Cryopreservation on Freezability and Fertility of Buffalo Spermatozoa

Effect of Antibiotics in Extender on Fertility of Liquid Buffalo Bull Semen

This study was carried out to determine if a new antibiotic combination comprising of gentamycin, tylosin and linco-spectin (GTLS) in extender is suitable for improvement in fertility of liquid buffalo bull semen through artificial insemination (AI). Two consecutive ejaculates per week (4 weeks) were collected from three Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls of known fertility by using artificial vagina (42°...

Studies on the Freezability of Kundhi Buffalo Bull Semen

This study was conducted to assess the post thaw quality of Kundhi buffalo semen diluted in tris based diluents. After collection the ejaculates were pooled and checked for color, volume, pH, mass activity, progressive linear motility% (PLM), and intactness of cell membrane. The semen qualifying these tests was divided into four aliquots A, B, C and D, diluted with tris based diluents; the last...

Effects of In Vitro Zinc Sulphate Additive to The Semen Extender on Water Buffalo (Bubalusbubalis) Spermatozoa before and after Freezing

Effect of different antioxidant additives in semen diluent on cryopreservability (-196°C) of buffalo semen.

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of different antioxidant additives in standard tris-fructose-egg yolk-glycerol (TFYG) extender on the cryopreservability of buffalo semen. MATERIALS AND METHODS Semen collection using artificial vagina, twice weekly for 5 weeks from three pedigreed health breeding bulls of Mehsani breed, aged between 6 and 8 years. Immediately after initial...

P-137: Effect of Different Equilibration, Freezing and Thawing Rate on Cryopreserved Buffalo Spermatozoa Diluted inTris- Egg Yolk Extender

Background: Artificial insemination (AI) has been used for increasing genetic potential of animals in production while application of AI has been restricted in buffalo due to low freezing ability and fertility of frozen-thawed buffalo spermatozoa. So improvement in buffalo sperm cryopreservation may enhance the breeding programs of this valuable farm animal. Semen processing is one of the major...
