The present study was conducted to observe the effect of AX on sperm quality of Karan Fries Tharparkar X Holstein Friesian bulls during storage Keywords at 5 C. The neat semen was diluted with Tris egg yolk citric acid fructose TEYCAF Astaxanthin extender and equally divided into two parts . control and AX supplementation. The Semen Storage percentage of progressive motility at 0 24 48 and 72 hours were Refrigerator vs. vs. and vs. temperature. in AX supplemented vs. control respectively. The percentage of live spermatozoa at 0 24 48 and 72 hours were as vs. vs. Article Info vs. and vs. in AX supplemented vs. control respectively. The concentration of catalase CAT enzyme in supernatant was Accepted reduced p 2017 6 5 23-28 membrane integrity p in rams diluted preliminary study was conducted to observe semen during the storage period of 72 hours the effect of AX a potent antioxidant at 5 C Fang et al. 2015 .
