The present study was designed to determine the effect of different concentrations of quail egg yolk (5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) in tris based semen extender on progressive motility of Sahiwal bull spermatozoa at pre-freeze as well as post-thaw stage. The progressive motility significantly (P<0.01) improved in 10% and 15% quail egg yolk concentration at pre freeze stage whereas it increases significantly in 10% quail egg yolk concentration at post-thaw stage. The findings of the present study suggested that quail egg yolk improves post-thaw sperm progressive motility at 10% concentration.
