ABSTRACT

A total 50 ejaculates from eight mithun bulls were collected twice a week over 8 months and semen pooled to eliminate individual differences and was split into four equal aliquots, diluted with the TEYC extender. Group 1: diluted 1:2 with TEYC extender (control), group 2 to 4: semen diluted with 1:2 TEYC extender supplemented with 6, 8 and 10 ml of PJ/ 100 ml of diluent, respectively. The seminal parameters and biochemical profiles were assessed at 5oC for 0, 6, 12, 24 and 30 h of incubation. Inclusion of PJ into diluent resulted in significant (p
