The effect of different levels of osmolality and pH of lactose extender on the viability of Bactrian camelspermatozoa was investigated. Semen was collected from 10 Bactrian camel bulls using modified bovineartificial vagina. In experiment I, the extenders consisted of 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13% lactose with respectiveosmolalities of 290, 333, 350, 376 and 419 mOsm/kg and the pH of 6.9. In experiment...
