| Abstract | The present study was undertaken with the objective to evaluate the effect of transportation distance on freezability of buffalo semen collected at farmer’s doorstep. In the study elite Murrah buffalo bulls of 3–6 years of age available with the farmers in the breeding home tract were used. Semen samples were divided into two groups based on distance of transportation viz. group I (80–100 km) and group II (130–150 km). Semen was collected at the owner’s premises and kept in warm water at 30 ± 2 °C and extended 10–15 times based on its consistency and color. The extended semen was transported to laboratory in indigenously designed container. In the laboratory, after subjective assessment, the semen was cryopreserved successfully. The frozen–thawed semen was assessed for quality parameters using computer assisted semen analyzer and artificial insemination (AI) in field conditions. Post-thaw sperm total motility (51.06 ± 2.59 vs. 45.36 ± 2.43 %) and progressive motility (31.8 ± 1.75 vs. 26.5 ± 1.55 %) did not vary significantly between groups, whereas rapid motility and sperm kinetic parameters like average path velocity, straight linear velocity, curvilinear velocity, beat cross frequency, and straightness were significantly (P < 0.05) higher in group I than the group II. Parameters, such as amplitude of lateral head displacement, linearity, elongation, and head size of spermatozoa did not vary significantly between the two transportation distances. The conception rates, of the frozen semen used for AI at field level, were found to be 53.8 and 60.2 % in group I and group II, respectively. In conclusion, the proposed design of container for cooling and transportation of diluted semen, up to 150 km distance proved to be highly efficient for cryopreservation of semen of buffalo bulls from field conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
