The study was designed to decipher the inter-relationship between peripheral hormones (kisspeptin and testosterone), sexual behaviour and seminal variables of Murrah buffalo bulls (n = 134). In this study, we recorded that 13%, 37%, 40%, 6% and 4% Murrah buffalo bulls had reaction time of <30, 31-60, 61-180, 181-300 and >300 s, respectively. Further, it was observed that 4%, 85% and 10% buffalo bulls were sexually aggressive, active and dull, respectively, during semen collection.

For this study, buffalo bulls were divided into sub-fertile (n = 2) and normal (n = 5) on the basis of sperm mass motility and individual motility. The serum IGF-1 concentration of normal bulls was greater than in sub-fertile bulls, but there was no difference in the seminal IGF-1 concentration among the groups.
