AIM The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of species, breed and age on bacterial load in fresh and frozen semen of Cattle and Buffalo bull. MATERIALS AND METHODS Present study covered 56 cow and 10 buffalo bulls stationed at Central Semen Station Anjora, Durg (Chhattisgarh). Impact of breeds on bacterial load in semen was assessed using six breeds of cattle viz. Sahiwal, G...

AIM The objective of the study was to evaluate the effects of non-genetic factors on reproduction traits viz. age at first semen freezing and age at first semen use of breeding bulls in Sahiwal bulls by fitting least-squares analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS The information on reproduction traits of 43 Sahiwal breeding bulls belonging to 8 sets of Sahiwal breeding program at Indian Council of A...

The study had two objectives, namely, to estimate the andrological disorders leading to disposal of Karan Fries (KF), Sahiwal cattle and Murrah buffalo bulls and to study the effect of various factors (species/breeds, season of birth and period of birth) on male reproductive parameters. Records on occurrence of subfertility problems and disposal pattern of bulls maintained at the National Dairy...

Bovine leukocyte adhesion deficiency (BLAD) is a genetically transmitted disease and inherited as an autosomal recessive defect. Keeping this in view the present study was conducted to estimate incidence of carrier animals in a herd of breeding bulls for mutation in Integrin â2 gene, reared at Frozen Semen Bull Station (FSBS), Haringhata, Nadia, West Bengal, India. A total of 80 bulls of differ...

This study was designed to determine the effect of different osmotic pressures on spermatozoa characteristics for cryopreservation of buffalo bull semen using tris egg yolk extender (TEYE). Semen of Nili-Ravi buffalo bulls (n = 04) housed at Semen Production Unit, Qadirabad, Sahiwal, Pakistan, was collected at weekly interval for 10 weeks. Three solutions of tris-citric acid-fructose with osmot...

Bull service is the most common insemination method in pastoral herds grazing rangelands. To accelerate multiplication and distribution of access to high quality Sahiwal genetics communities, development agencies have promoted use Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) Kenyan However, sustainable ARTs uncertain because herd owners attach value bull calves genetic merits for breeding, which a...

This study aimed at determining the physico-morphological attributes, in vitrofertilityand their interrelationships in semen of Sahiwal bulls. Semen samples werecollected weekly for 6 weeks from ten mature Sahiwal bulls divided randomly into 5 groups. The mean (±SEM) of ejaculate volume (mL), mass activity (score 0-5), progressive sperm motility (%), sperm concentration (106/mL), live sperm (%)...
