P. Perumal

Abstract :

Conservation and propagation of genetic resources of mithun are important to preserve mithun germplasm and livelihood of its rearers. To date, no information is available on effects of oxytocin and PGF2α administration in mithun semen collection and quality. Total of 20 ejaculates were collected through rectal massage method in which these injections were given intra muscularly. These semen samples were analysed for basic seminal parameters. The success rate in semen collection was higher in oxytocin treated animal than other treatments. Similarly the different seminal parameters were showed significant different (p < 0.05) between the experimental groups. This study was concluded that the success rate and seminal parameters were superior in oxytocin treated animal.
