Abstract
Studies on the potassium and sodium concentration in semen and
their effect on freezability were undertaken in Murrah bulls, stationed
at the Livestock Research Station, Kattupakkam. The mean concentration
of potassium and sodium in semen were found to be 98.04±2.77 mg%
and 243.0 ± 4.09 mg % respectively. A significant negative correlation
of -0.305 was observed between potassium and freezability. There is no
significant correlation between sodium and freezability. High potassium
concentration was found to be detrimental to freezability.
