Abstract | ||||
Two hundred and four ejaculates (102 first and 102 second) were collected from six Baladi male goats, over a period of four months. The difference in reaction time not ed before collection of the first (12.43 sec.) and second (32.79 sec.) ejaculates was highly significant (P/0.01). Significant differences (P/0.05) between the first and secogd ejaculates were found for sperm density (x10 /ml), total sperm per ejaculate (x10') and total sperm abnormalities (%) with values of 2723.92,2.5 and 7.45 for the first ejaculate and 2351.08, 2.05 and 10.28 for the second respectively. The mean values for ejaculate volume (ml), mass activity (score : 0-4) and individual motility (%) were 0.92, 3.06 and 61.12 for the first and 0.84, 3.16 and 64.75 for the second ejaculates respectively. Differences between the three attributes were not statistic ally significant. Samples pooled from first and second ejaculates displayed an average fructose and citric acid concentration of 606.11 and 484.02 mg% respectively. | ||||
