Abstract
Sudden reduction in temprature to below 5 C affect the vit1lity
of spermatozoa of most farm animals and this harmful effect of sudden
cooling is known as 'temperature' or 'cold shock' (Milovanov; 1934).
Cold shock resistance test has shown relevance with invitro preservation
and fertility (Lasley and Bogart 1943, Sengupta et aI. 1963, Copalakrishna
and Rao 1979, Chinnaiya and Ganguli 1978) Wide range of individual
variations for frozen semen production among buffalo bulls prompted
us to evaluate the usefulness of this simple test for screening buffalo
bulls for their freezability.
