In crossbred cattle bulls, poor seminal quality and freezability are major constraints. The present study was conducted to determine semen quality parameters of Vrindavani crossbred bulls. In this study 130 semen samples were collected from five Vrindavani crossbred bulls. The volume, mass motility, concentration and individual progressive motility, viability and abnormality of spermatozoa were examined. Then ejaculates were categorized into four groups on the basis of spermatozoa concentration and individual progressive motility. The percentage of normozoospermia, asthenozoopsermia, oligozoospermia and oligoasthenozoospermia ejaculates were 44.62%, 29.23%, 11.54% and 14.61%, respectively. The overall mean of volume, mass motility, concentration of spermatozoa, individual progressive motility, viability and sperm abnormality in semen ejaculates of crossbred Vrindavani bulls were 4.64±0.63 mL, 2.48±0.09, 772.20±27.95 million/mL, 65.08±1.47%, 79.94±1.07% and 7.82±0.44%, respectively. ...

Due to malnutrition and inadequate management practices, anestrus is frequently observed in domestic animal species, particularly in rural areas. This financially crippling condition in affected animals can be mitigated using available therapeutic measures. The primary challenges with employing hormones or other medicaments for animal reproductive management are the massive price, lack of rapid assay resources, barely commercially accessible and the requirement for veterinarian care. Therefore, herbal medicines are a good alternative since they are cheap, effective, and socially acceptable and they are often the only option with little side effects. Herbal combinations can have significant beneficial effects due to the synergistic or cumulative effects of their active principles. Plants have a wide spectrum of beneficial effects in their natural state and have immense potential as a source of new medications.
