Evaluation of Semen Parameters of Brahman Cross, Holstein Cross & Local Bulls Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy

By Md Rafikul Islam

Data used in the present study which was performed at Central Cattle Breeding and Dairy Farm (CCBDF), Savar, Dhaka. The productive efficiency on sixteen bulls of three genetic groups (8 Brahman cross, 5 Friesian cross and 3 Local) over a period of 9 months (April to December, 2015) were analyzed to comparison, estimate of heritability, and genetic and phenotypic correlations of semen parameters where semen of Brahman crossbred bulls was used to inseminate indigenous cows to investigate the meat production potentialities of local cattle. Parameters of semen as volume (ml), color, consistency, mass activity, motility (%), sperm concentration ( 106/ml) and non-return rate (%) were considered. Genotype ranking was also taken into account for the study.The individual genotypes had significant (p
