A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of group feeding and individual feeding on post thaw semen quality in breeding bucks. A total of 16 health breeding buck maintained at goat frozen semen station DUVASU, Mathura were selected for the experiment. After the initial evaluation of semen quality, the bucks were divided into 2 group. In group 1 bucks were kept in together in a shed while in group II every buck was kept in separate pan and feed individually for 90 days. Thereafter semen was collected from each individual buck from both the groups and semen collected from buck of each group was pooled together to reduce the individual variation. The pooled semen was cryopreserved and later analysed. The result exhibited a significantly (p ≤ 0.01) higher values for viability, mitochondrial potential, motility and path velocity and kinematic character in group II compared to group I. The values for viable ROS +ve spermatozoa and those with damaged acrosome were significantly (p ≤ 0.01) higher in group I. The result of study indicate that the breeding bucks maintained at semen station for frozen semen production should be kept and feed in individual pan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
