Abstract
The present investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of Frieswal cattle and Murrah buffalo bulls or some seminal attributes like semen volume sperm concentration (million per ml), sperm concentration (million per ejaculate), progressive motility, HOST in freshly collected semen. A total number of 60 bulls of each species of cattle (frieswal) and buffalo (murrah) were used. It was found that the overall mean average of volume, sperm concentration (million per ml), sperm concentration (million per ejaculate), and progressive motility was 4.66±0.36 (ml), and 2.38±0.22 ml, 1147.58±.82.77 and 1234.83±76.56 (million/ml), 5347.72±203.82 and 2938.90±203.56 (million per ejaculate) and 83.06±0.79 74.42± 2.41 (percent), for frieswal cattle bull and Murrah buffalo bulls, respectively. Statistical analysis shown highly significant differences in both species. The mean of HOST positive spermatozoa (percent) overall mean 73.76±1.10 and 53.02±1.17 in frieswall cattle bull and murrah buffalo bull, respectively. The overall mean value of VAP, VSL, VCL, ALH, BCF, STR LIN and Elongation was found as 101.93± 3.11 µm/s, 131.22±3.06 µm/s, 217.19µm/s, and 67.34±2.41 µm/s, 107.32±2.67 µm/s and 201.10±5.67, 223.88±7.84 µm/s and 9.06±1.21, 7.78±0.34 µm/s and 19.54±0.52, 33.75±0.82 Hz and 59.99±0.03, 74.00±2.11 percent and 32.78±0.02, 41.83±1.68 percent and 39.17±0.003, 36.93±0.65 percent for frieswal cattle bull and Murrah buffalo bulls, respectively.
