Abstract

The antioxidative potential of Neem bark in relation to spermatozoa quality is not fully understood. Thus, this present study was conducted to investigate the antioxidative potential of aqueous neem bark extract (ANBE) on spermatozoa quality in extended Porcine Semen. Fresh semen was collected from a mature and intact boar (age, breed, body condition score, health status) using the glove-hand technique. The collected semen samples were diluted and allotted to five treatments with three replicates per treatment in a completely randomized design and evaluated at 0, 24 and 48 h of refrigeration at 17#xB0;C. Semen quality parameters such as progressive motility (%), liveability (%), morphology (%), acrosome integrity (%), pH, and lipid per oxidation were evaluated.
