INFECTIOUS CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN BUFFALO BULL (Bubalus bubalis)

چکیده
The artifi cial insemination (AI) technique plays an important role in improvement of conception rate, prevention of sexually transmitted diseases and transmission of genetic material to the next generation. The breeding soundness evaluation (BSE) plays an important role in selection of male buffalo for the said purposes. This evaluation is an effective, inexpensive and easy method for selection of breeding buffalo bulls. In buffalo breeding management programmes, seasonal variation, nutrition, congenital defect, hormonal changes and hereditary play critical roles in determining the reproductive effi ciency in buffalo bulls. The information regarding the reproductive health of buffalo bulls for breeding soundness evaluation is meager. The venereally transmitted infection causes early embryonic death, infection in the female reproductive tract and infertility or sterility in female animals and also infertility and disease condition in the male animals. To avoid such infective conditions, proper and careful investigation of all parts of the reproductive tract and evaluation of semen and treatment are important. So, a male buffalo calf being purchased for breeding purpose must be evaluated for breeding soundness.

متن کاملP-103: Effects of In Vitro Selenium Supplementation on Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Sperm Quality following Cryopreservation
Background: Artificial insemination is a valuable tool in genetic improvement programs and widely used breeding technique in farm animals. Semen processing and cryopreservation causes considerable damage to sperm DNA, motility apparatus, plasma membrane, acrosomal cap and thus, reduced fertility. Selenium is an integral part of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), an enzyme which protects cell inte...
متن کاملEFFECT OF REDUCING SPERM NUMBERS PER INSEMINATION DOSE ON FERTILITY OF CRYOPRESERVED BUFFALO BULL (Bubalus bubalis) SEMEN
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of reducing sperm numbers per insemination dose on fertility of cryopreserved buffalo bull semen. For this purpose, semen was collected at weekly intervals from a Nili-Ravi buffalo bull (Bubalus bubalis) using an artificial vagina in two batches. The ejaculates were split-sampled and diluted at 37°C with tris-citric acid extender having 15x...
