Abstract

Thawed frozen semen of Hariana bulls (n=4, one straw from each of 15 ejaculates per bull) was evaluated by CASA for sperm motion and velocity parameters. One of the bulls had higher (p<0.05) average path velocity of sperm (VAP), curvilinear velocity (VCL) and amplitude of lateral head displacement (ALH) and, had lower (p<0.05) slow velocity when compared to other bulls. This suggested that CASA can be used to indirectly assess the fertility potential of Hariana bulls.
