Abstract

The present study was undertaken to know the seasonal influence on various seminal attributes, in Murrah bulls. Data
included 4,446 ejaculates over a period of 7 years. The seminal volume, mass activity and number of semen straws produced were
significantly high (P<0.05) during monsoon.,The sperm concentration was highest (943.77±22.02 106/ml.) in summer. The initial
motility and post thaw motility were not affected by different seasons. Monsoon season was most favourable for production of
quality semen, followed by summer and winter.
