Abstract:The use of antibiotics in semen extenders can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance. The objective of the study was to evaluate epsilon‐polylysine (Ɛ‐PL) as a substitute for antibiotics in the buffalo semen extender. For this, 20 semen ejaculates were collected from four Murrah buffalo bulls. Each ejaculate was divided into three equal aliquots and extended into an egg yolk‐based semen extender containing either antibiotics (strepto‐penicillin) or different concentrations of Ɛ‐PL (0.64 and 1.2… Show more
