Abstract

The estrual cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM) samples were collected from 44 regularly cycling pleuriparous cows prior to
artificial insemination and the same were subjected for in-vitro sperm mucus penetration tests like slide, polyethylene and capillary
tube tests. Following the collection of CVM the animals were inseminated and screened for pregnancy after 60 days. Among the invitro
sperm cervical mucus penetration tests, the slide and capillary tube tests were found to be of diagnostic value in assessing the
fertility of cows.
