Abstract

l!J. vitro sperm mucus penetration study was done in freshly collected estrual mucus of buffaloes and in synthetic migration
media i.e. polyacrylamide gel (2%). Sperm mucus penetration distance was measured as an indicator of fertility . Sperm mucus
penetration distance values have +ve correlation with live and normal sperm count. In polyacrylamide there was +ve correlation
between sperm penetration distance value and normal sperm count. Polyacrylamide gel can be used successfully as a better substitute
penetration media for sperm penetration for assessing the fertility of the semen.
