  The study was conducted to find out the variation of semen quality among three successive graded up (F1, F2 and F3) Sahiwal × local breeding bulls for Artificial Insemination (AI) purposes. Total of 468 ejaculates were collected from 9 breeding bulls throughout the experimental year 2019. The recorded data were summarized using Microsoft Excel 2010 and statistically analyzed using GraphPad Prism 5 software. Out of 468 ejaculates 385 (82.26%) were found to be creamy in color followed by 64 (13.68%) and 19 (4.06%) as yellowish and watery, respectively. Level of up-gradation had significant (P<0.05) effect on ejaculate volume, consistency, mass activity, sperm concentration and initial and post motility. The highest (5.356 ± 0.10 ml) and the lowest (4.726 ± 0.09 ml) volume of semen were found in third (F3) and first (F1) crossing, respectively (p<0.05). The mass.. View More»
