Abstract

Eight Sahiwal bulls maintained at Artificial Breeding Complex, National Dairy Research Institute, Kamal, Haryana
were u~ed to evaluate the seminal attributes and fertility parameters from fresh semen samples. The overall least squares means
f~r various seminal traits and fertility parameters were reported. The effect of bull was significant (P<0.01%) on parameters
hke volume, pro~ressive motility, per cent motility and on velocity of average path (P<0.05). The positive and the significant
(P<0.05)_corre~at1ons amon~s_t the s_eminal traits and their significant (P<0.05) association with the fertility parameters suggest
!hat c~ns1?erat1on of the fert1hty traits along with the seminal traits would be valuable for selecting bulls to be used for artificial
msemmat1on programme.
