Punganur, the world’s shortest humped cattle (Bos indicus) with long tail and switch touching the
ground, is at the risk of extinction. Conservation of endangered breed would prevent further reduction
of current population through careful implementation of planned mating programmes along with
appropriate reproductive technologies. The semen characteristics of Punganur bulls viz., the overall
mean ejaculate volume (ml), mass activity (0-4 scale), individual motility (%), sperm concentration
(millions/ml), live sperms (%), sperm head abnormalities (%), acrosomal damage (%), mid piece
abnormalities (%), tail abnormalities (%) and total sperm abnormalities in neat semen were 3.25 ±
0.15, 3.26 ± 0.06, 72.85 ± 0.71, 1427.25 ± 3.77, 79.34 ± 0.33, 4.25 ± 0.07, 4.75 ± 0.07, 1.97 ± 0.27,
4.25 ± 0.08 and 10.46 ± 0.12, respectively. Significant differences in ejaculate volume, mass activity,
individual motility and live sperms were observed among the bulls.
