The current study was designed to investigate the effect of supplementation of Flaxseed (Linumusitatisimum) oil on libido and semen quality of Nilli-Ravi buffalo bulls.
In this study, 12 adult healthy bulls kept at the Semen Production Unit, Qadirabad district Sahiwal, were used. These bulls were divided into three equal groups, A, B and C. Group A was kept as control, while in groups B and C supplementation of feed was provided by using flaxseed oil @125 ml/day and 250 ml/day,respectively for 12 weeks. Two ejaculates per animal were collected at 0 day then 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th week of treatment. In this way a total 216 samples were taken, and each semen sample was evaluated for color, volume, mass activity, percent motility, sperm cell concentration per ml, percentage of live sperm, and plasma membrane integrity. Libido of bulls was also evaluated before every collection.
Analysis of data revealed that these parameters were significantly (P < 0.01) increased in flax oil treated animals as compared to control.
It was concluded from the present study that flax seed oil has beneficial effects on reproductive health of buffalo bull.
本研究旨在探讨亚麻籽油(Linumusitatisimum)补充对尼利-拉维水牛公牛性欲和精液质量的影响。
本研究中,使用了 12 头饲养在萨希瓦尔地区卡迪拉巴德区精液生产单位的成年健康公牛。这些公牛被分为三组,A、B 和 C。A 组作为对照组,而在 B 和 C 组中,通过每天分别补充 125ml 和 250ml 的亚麻籽油来提供饲料补充。在治疗的第 0、5、6、7、8、9、10、11 和 12 周,每只动物采集两次精液样本。这样总共采集了 216 个样本,每个精液样本都评估了颜色、体积、质量活动、百分比活力、每毫升精子细胞浓度、活精子百分比和质膜完整性。在每次采集前还评估了公牛的性欲。
数据分析表明,与对照组相比,亚麻籽油处理组的这些参数显著增加(P<0.01)。
本研究得出结论,亚麻籽油对水牛公牛的生殖健康有有益影响。
