    Variation in seminal plasma specific proteins due to semen freezability in tarai buffalo bulls
    (G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar - 263145 (Uttarakhand), 2004-06) Tiwari, Madhu; Prasad, R.B.
    In the present study of “Variation in seminal plasma specific proteins due to semen freezability in Tarai buffalo bulls” were undertaken with the following objectives: 1. To estimate quantitative changes, if any, in total proteins in seminal plasma due to freezability at different interval. 2. To identify seminal plasma proteins in fresh as well as cold treated semen. A total of six Tarai buffalo bulls maintained at Animal Instructional Farm under the project “Animal Genetics Resource Biodiversity: Characterization and Conservation of Tarai Buffaloes” were studied for seminal characteristics, total protein concentration of seminal plasma and protein profile of fresh and diluted semen that was stored at different temperature for various time periods. A significant variation was found among bulls (genotypes) for seminal characteristics and protein profile of fresh semen though total protein concentration of seminal plasma had non significant variation. A significant variation was also found among bulls for seminal characteristics and protein profile of diluted semen stored for various periods at different temperatures. A significant increase in total protein concentration of seminal plasma was noticed in diluted semen stored at -200C and -1960C for 30 days.
