Abstract

Sixty ejaculates each from young (2.5-3 yr, n=5) and old (6-8 yr, n=5) Jersey bulls were evaluated for fresh and
post thaw semen characteristics. The old bulls had higher (p<0.05) ejaculate volume, spermatozoa per ejaculate and
abnormal spermatozoa. Various post thaw semen parameters viz. motility, live/abnormal spermatozoa, intact acrosome
and HOST were similar (p>0.05) between young and old bulls. In brief, age has no predominant impact on seminal
characteristics of Jersey bull semen
