Different semen assays were employed to determine the post -thaw fitness of buffalo and Sahiwal bull spermatozoa. Semen (two ejaculates) was collected from buffalo and Sahiwal bulls (six each) once a week for three consecutive weeks. Semen was diluted in lactose-fructose-egg yolk glycerol extender, equilibrated at 4 ac for 4 hr and frozen in liquid nitrogen vapors. A highly significant differen...

the aim of this study was to investigate the comparison between some seminal plasma parameters and age of the bull. concentrations of various biochemical parameters like fructose, glucose, total proteins, albumin and inorganic ions including na, k and cl ions of seminal plasma of breeding sahiwal bulls of different ageswere assessed. methods: 40sahiwal bullsdivided into 4 age groups.semen (2ml ...

The present study was conducted to determine the effect of seasonal and climatic variations on semen characteristics of Nili-Ravi buffalo breeding bulls in Sahiwal and Bahawalpur districts of Punjab, Pakistan. For this purpose, 14 adult NiliRavi buffalo breeding bulls (n=7 from each of Semen Production Unit (SPU) Qadirabad, Sahiwal and SPU Karaniwala, Bahawalpur), were used. Semen samples were ...

The present study was conducted to determine the correlation of hypo-osmotic swelling test with conventional semen evaluation parameters of fresh semen collected from two Nili-Ravi buffalo and two Sahiwal cow bulls. A total of 10 pooled samples (each comprising two consecutive ejaculates) from each bull were collected. Each semen sample was divided into two parts. One part was used for the eval...

The experiment was carried out at District Artificial Insemination (AI) Center at Khulna to evaluate the conception rate of frozen semen and locally produced liquid semen. Frozen semen from five different genotypes (Local, Sahiwal×Friesian, (Local×Friesian)2×Friesian, (Local×Friesian)×(Local×Frisian×Friesian), Local×Friesian) of bulls was taken which was served by Central Cattle Breeding Statio...

Objective of the present study was to document the semen producing ability, productive life and genetic ability for lactation milk yield of Sahiwal bulls used for artificial insemination (AI) in Punjab and to find the impact of AI bulls on the improvement of Sahiwal cattle. Data from Semen Production Unit (SPU), Qadirabad, Sahiwal, Pakistan were used for this purpose. A repeatability animal mod...

The surface expression of CD9 (cluster-of-differentiation antigen-9) in sperms of certain mammalian species has been attributed to its fusion with the egg and thereby dictating the fertility of species. In the present study, we investigated the association of CD9 with crossbred bull sperm quality and quantity trait was analyzed using a total of 96 Frieswal (HF × Sahiwal) crossbred. A single nuc...
