Semen quality and its relationship to fertility are
said to be major concern in animal production,
hence accurate measurement of semen fertilizing
potential is of great importance14. In order to
assess semen quality therefore, workers in this
field rely on visual and microscopic evaluation
of spermatozoal progressive motility and
morphology to measure sperm cell survival In Nigeria, there is a dearth of literature
regarding the actual proportion of coconut milk
suitable for extension of buck semen. The objectives of this study, therefore, were to
determine the proportions of coconut milk and
sodium citrate suitable for preserving motility
and survival of WAD buck spermatozoa; and to
study the duration of sustaining the motility in
studied extenders at room temperature (28 ±
2oC)
