Overview

Randomized trial identifies superior Ongole Crossbred bulls based on genetic potential and semen quality, suggesting enhanced beef productivity.

Key Points

  • The study aims to identify superior Ongole Crossbred bulls by evaluating genetic potential and semen quality.
  • Evaluated 38 Ongole Crossbred bulls and 44 male offspring for morphometric traits and semen quality.
  • Used phenotypic selection with Most Probable Producing Ability (MPPA) analysis for genetic evaluation.
  • Measured traits including motility, concentration, viability of semen, and morphometric traits.
  • Two of the four selected bulls exhibited optimal growth and reproductive traits.
  • Semen from selected bulls had motility and viability above 70%, with body weights above the population average.
  • Heritability values for semen traits were between 0.19 and 0.29, and repeatability values were greater than 0.49.
