Research paper thumbnail of Effect of prostaglandin F2 alpha on libido, seminal quantity and quality of buffalo bulls

Theriogenology, 1986

Four mature Murrah buffalo bulls on a regular semen collection schedule of twice a day, two days ... more Four mature Murrah buffalo bulls on a regular semen collection schedule of twice a day, two days per week, were injected with 30 mg prostaglandin F2 alpha THAM salt(PGFj intramuscularly 30 minutes prior to eQCh alternate first ejaculation for six weeks. Effects uf PGF on time to initial false mount on the decoy, time to ejaculation after two false mounts (reaction time), seminal volume, sperm concentration, total sperm output, motility of fresh and thawed semen and the semen doses obtained per collection were evaluated. Treatment CQuSed significant (P < 0.01) reduction in the time to first false mount and the reaction time for the first ejaculations but had no effect (P > 0.05) on these for the second ejaculations. Values for other quantitative and qualitative parameters did not differ (P > 0.05) due to PGF treatment. It is concluded that PGF at the dosage Qnd frequency of administration used may be of some value in improving libido in low-libido bulls but does not alter the reproductive capacity of buffalo bulls.
