Abstract
The present investigation was undertaken during the favourable breeding season
(November-February) of the year 2013-2014 on six mature Surti buffalo bulls at Central
Sperm Station of Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics of the Veterinary College,
AAU, Anand. The study covered evaluation of seminal characteristics in neat semen and
then comparative efficacy of egg yolk based standard TFYG (Tris-citric acid-fructoseegg
yolk-glycerol) extender and soybean based commercially available extenders
(Bioxcell® and Optixcell®, IMV, France) using split-ejaculate technique through various
morphological and functional attributes of spermatozoa extended/preserved/ processed in
these extenders for refrigeration preservation (at 5°C up to 72 hrs) and cryopreservation
(-196°C), including interrelationships of quality sperm parameters of fresh, refrigerated
and cryopreserved semen
