Abstract:
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the semen characteristics of Hariana bulls. In this study total 32 ejaculates from four healthy Hariana bulls was collected and estimated for various seminal attributes. The overall mean±S.E for various attributes were, ejaculate semen volume 4.81±0.16 ml, pH 6.58±0.02, sperm mass motility (0-5 scale) 3.84±0.08, sperm concentration 1783.75±51.23 millions/ml, sperm progressive motility 84.22±0.68 per cent and live sperm 90.32±0.42 per cent. A significant (P<0.05) difference was found only in the semen volume and mass motility amongst the bulls. So that, present findings suggested that, these bulls were suitable for breeding and its semen could be used for cryopreservation as the purpose of artificial insemination.
