Abstract
A study was conducted for collection and evaluation of Emu bird semen by non teaser method.
The raw semen collected from individual Emu birds was evaluated for microscopical seminal
attributes. Highly significant (P<0.001) results were obtained and the overall mean values for mass
activity, per cent motility, concentration, per cent live and abnormal spermatozoa of individual
male was 3.36 ± 0.08, 74.39+0.99, 2.19+0.05 x109per ml, 87.40±0.67 % and 9.15 ± 0.33 %
respectively. The individual males showed varied response and significant difference in seminal
attributes. Creamy white thick consistency semen had significant (P<0.01) seminal attributes than
yellow and watery semen.
