“…2009) evaluated the effects of diets containing fats on fresh and frozen semen of Nili-Ravi bull and found 2.71±0.32 ml semen volume and 1358 ±238×106 million/ml concentration for fresh semen in buffalo bull without supplementing dietary fat. The semen volume and concentration of the three groups of bulls in the current experiment are almost similar to the result of Hoque et al (2018), who evaluated the effect of showering on semen quality of indigenous buffaloes of Bangladesh and found 2.04 ml volume and 1374.31million/ml concentration in fresh semen. Although the overall volume was lower the concentration is higher in this experiment for all three groups of bulls so, the total dose of straw production was not affected.…”

Fresh and frozen semen quality of Murrah and Nili-Ravi bulls in comparison with indigenous buffalo bulls was evaluated by Computer Assisted Sperm Analyzer (CASA). Semen was collected regularly once a week semen collection schedule from six (two/group) buffalo bulls. Fresh semen was evaluated for sperm concentration, motility, sperm kinematics, morphology and dose/ejaculate. Semen was diluted in a commercial extender (AndroMed), equilibrated, cryopreserved and finally evaluated for post-thaw sperm quality. On-station Artificial Insemination (AI) was carried out in naturally estrus indigenous buffalo cows at their second or third parity. Semen volume and concentration did not vary significantly (p>0.05). In fresh semen, total, static and slow motility differed significantly among the groups (p<0.01). After cryopreservation, total, progressive and static motility shows significant differences (p<0.01) among the groups followed by Indigenous, Murrah and Nili-Ravi. Indigenous buffalo bull has less morphological abnormalities than Murrah and Nili-Ravi bulls (p<0.01). In fresh semen, VAP, VSL, STR, LIN and BCF differ significantly among the groups (p<0.05) with higher values in indigenous bull followed by Nili-Ravi and Murrah. In frozen semen, STR, LIN, ALH and WOB differ significantly (p<0.01) among the groups. Fertility did not vary significantly among the groups following 60 days post-AI. Irrespective of differences in fresh and frozen semen quality, all bulls from the three groups are suitable for AI with a considerable conception rate at least in on-station conditions. More dose/ejaculate can be produced from Murrah bulls (316.53±131.65) followed by Nili-Ravi (297.33±95.79) and Indigenous bulls (294.64±152.14). Murrah and Nili-Ravi breed can be used as similar efficiency of the indigenous bull for AI to increase the productivity of indigenous buffalo of Bangladesh.

“…A strategy to prevent HS in dairy buffalo is an intervention in their housing system and the adoption of cooling systems ( Figure 12 , Table 8 ). Several authors have ascertained the positive effect of cooling on the various parameters indicating the well-being of the animals in both temperate and tropical climates [ 88 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 ] and in both female and male buffalo [ 100 ]. These systems may affect several aspects of buffalo breeding including reproduction.…”

“…When these thresholds are exceeded, the animals go into stress and spermatogenesis is negatively affected. Hoque et al [ 100 ] found that using more showers a day can improve the quality of sperm. They tested the effect of multiple showers on sperm quality in males under controlled climatic chamber conditions (the THI medium was 72.66 ± 2.30 in the morning and 81.66 ± 2.51 in the afternoon).…”

Increases in temperature and the greater incidence of extreme events are the consequences of the climate change that is taking place on planet Earth. High temperatures create severe discomfort to animal farms as they are unable to efficiently dissipate their body heat, and for this, they implement mechanisms to reduce the production of endogenous heat (reducing feed intake and production). In tropical and subtropical countries, where buffalo breeding is more widespread, there are strong negative consequences of heat stress (HS) on the production and quality of milk, reproduction, and health. The increase in ambient temperature is also affecting temperate countries in which buffalo farms are starting to highlight problems due to HS. To counteract HS, it is possible to improve buffalo thermotolerance by using a genetic approach, but even if it is essential, it is a long process. Two other mitigation approaches are nutritional strategies, such as the use of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and cooling strategies such as shade, fans, sprinklers, and pools. Among the cooling systems that have been evaluated, wallowing or a combination of fans and sprinklers, when wallowing is not available, are good strategies, even if wallowing was the best because it improved the production and reproduction performance and the level of general well-being of the animals.

This study was carried out to evaluate the seasonal variation on semen characteristics of Murrah buffalo bulls in Indonesia. A total of three Murrah buffalo bulls were included in this study. The semen was collected once a week during the rainy season (from January to April and from October to December) and the dry season (from May to September). Immediately after collection, the semen volume, sperm concentration, total sperm output, individual motility, post-thawing motility, and straw production were evaluated. The results showed that the season did not change (P0.05) the semen volume, individual motility, and post-thawing motility. However, sperm concentration, total sperm output, and straw production were decreased in the dry season (P0.05) as compared to the rainy season. In conclusion, several semen characteristics of Murrah buffalo bulls may vary depending on the season of collection. The semen collection during the rainy season is more profitable than the dry season.
