Abstract:
The present study was undertaken with the objective of establishing the normal spermiogram in Hallikar bulls based on 11,008 ejaculates from 25 Hallikar bulls over a period of 15 years (January 1999 to December 2013). The observed overall mean ejaculate volume, mass activity (0-5 scale) and sperm concentration based on 11,008 ejaculations were 4.66 ± 0.01ml, 4.32 ± 0.01 and 1048.55 ± 3.64 million per ml respectively. The overall mean initial motility, post thaw motility, based on 11,008 ejaculations were 80.26 ± 0.11 per cent, 49.36 ± 0.07 per cent, respectively.
