quality of Kundhi buffalo bull semen. It was observed that all the ejaculates were creamy white in color. The mean volume,<br />

pH, mass activity, sperm concentration and motility % was 2.95+0.07 ml, 6.63+7.30, 3.64+.05, 1283.7+12.12 x10 6 /<br />

ml and 80.05+3.79%, respectively for fresh semen. The effect of different levels of egg yolk in diluents indicated that<br />

of the cells. However, a significant (P
