Extract

The use of semi-skimmed cow milk diluent for liquid storage of ram semen is more convenient in Iranian sheep farming condition than other solutions. Preliminary tests showed that the motility and live percentages of ram spermatozoa were significantly (P>0.05) lower for semen samples were diluted in citrate buffer than semen samples in either tris buffer or semi-skimmed cow milk (Ahangari, 1996). This study was carried out for liquid storage of ram semen under Iranian farm conditions.
