Abstract

A study was conducted on 32 Murrah buffalo bulls to evaluate the seminal attributes and their relation with scrotal biometry and sexual behavior of Murrah buffo bull. There was significant (P<0.05) positive correlation between scrotal circumference with age, ejaculate volume, mass activity and sperm concentration. There was non- significant negative correlation of sexual behaviour with age and positive correlation with sperm concentration. Murrah buffalo bulls around the age of 5.0–6.5 year exhibit maximum sexual desire, however, maximum scrotal circumference for the age of more than 6.5 years was observed.
