A Comparison On The Semen Characteristics And Extenders For Freezing Semen Of The Swamp, River And Crossbred Buffalo (Bubalus Bubalis)

A study was undertaken ( i ) to investigate and compare the effect of chromosome make up on semen characteristics of three buffalo genotypes , viz swamp , 2n=48 ; river 2n=50; and crossbred , 2n=49; ( ii ) to investigate the influence of climate on the semen characteristics of the three genotype...
