Abstract

Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) enables efficient and objective evaluation of large numbers of spermatozoa, supporting semen quality assurance for artificial insemination. This study compared CASA-derived motility and kinematic parameters of frozen-thawed semen from 12 Mehsana buffalo bulls classified as high-fertile (CR ? 43%) or low-fertile (CR ? 35%) based on field conception rates. Motility was assessed at 0, 10, 60 and 120 minutes of post-thaw incubation at 37°C using the Hamilton Thorne IVOS II CASA system. Total and progressive motility declined significantly (p
