Abstract

A comparative study on post tliaw semen characteristics and fertility of Murrah and Jersey bull semen
diluted with a new yolk free "Biociphos plus" and routinely used yolk containing "Tris" e>..1enders was undertaken.
The variation in overall prefreeze motility was found to be significant (P<0.05) between the two diluents in both
the breeds. Also significant difference was noticed in the post tliaw motility (P<0.0 1) and post tliaw acrosomal
damage (P<0.05). Interestingly, Biociphos plus was found to be highly superior to Tris in arresting bacterial
contamination of semen. However, the fertility rates between diluents did not differ much in both the breeds.
