Extract

For the effective use of Artificial insemination technique in sheep industry, investigation on the methods of ram semen dilution and freezing is necessary. Ahangari (1992) showed that various rates of dilution from 1:1 to 1:4 did not affect p>0.05 post thawing survival of Cambridge ram spermatozoa. Fiser et al (1987) achieved a 73% c.f. 67% pregnancy rate using thawed semen, previously frozen to -100 and -79 respectively. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of two rates of dilution of semen and two methods of freezing on post-thawing motility of ram spermatozoa.
