Effect of modified CEP-3 diluents with aqueous soybean extract on liquid semen quality in Ongole crossbred bull.

Background And Aim: Egg yolk (EY) is commonly used as an extracellular cryoprotectant in semen diluents but has some negative effects. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the potential of lecithin derived from plants, such as soybeans, as an alternative extracellular cryoprotectant and to characterize liquid semen quality of Ongole crossbred bulls using a modified caudal epididymis plasma-3 [CEP-3 (m)] as a base diluent and aqueous soybean extract (ASE).

Materials And Methods: A bull with progressive motility (PM) of fresh semen >70% was used.

Polymorphism of gene (single nucleotide polymorphisms c.73T>C) and its association with body weight and body measurements in Madura cattle.

Background And Aim: Madura cattle is local cattle in Indonesia. This cattle hasphenotypic variations in growth traits. This study aimed to identify (LEP) gene polymorphism exon 2 associated with body measurements in Madura cattle.
