dc.description.abstractA Bargur cattle is an endangered cattle breed present in Anthiyur Taluk of Erode district. It is known for its suitability in the hilly agricultural operations. Population of these cattle breed downturn drastically in the past decades due to mechanisation of agriculture and indiscriminate breeding of these animals. Ex situ Conservation of the Bargur cattle through the preservationof male gametes was proposed to increase the population size of these breed. For this operation twenty numbers of Bargur calves were procured from the Bargur cattle breeding tract based on the phenotypes and dams yield. All the selected calves were screened for Karyological screening to rule out the chromosomal abnormality. Genetically transmitted diseases and infectious diseases were screened as per the approved protocol recommended by the Central Monitoring Unit, Government of India. The average age of bull calves at the time of selection was about 1 to 1.5 years, these animals reared under the organised farm till the semen donation was started. The bulls were shifted fromBargur cattle research station to Semen Bank, VC & RI, Namakkal for semen collection and preservation. The average body weight of breeding bulls at the time of semen collection was 183.133 2.14 kgs.The normal seminal parameters such as volume (ml), colour, consistency, mass activity (scale 0-5) and sperm concentration (million/ml) was recorded.The mean volume of the semen samples were 3.708 0.125 ml.The colour of all the samples was creamy white. The mass activity of Bargur semen was 3.93 0.118 and the concentration 1221.01± 56.09.This is the first time the semen was collected from the endangered Bargur bulls and values may be used as referral values for Bargur breed. The semen was diluted according to their concentration and proceeds for further processing.en_US
