Summary

FINE STRUCTURE OF SPERM AND ITS ORGANELLES AND THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE CAUSED AFTER FREEZING OF BUFFALO SEMEN IN 4 DILUENTS WAS ASSESSED BY TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY. SPERM HEADS WITH NORMAL ACROSOME MORPHOLOGY WERE FOUND TO THE EXTENT OF 70% IN UNDILUTED FRESH SEMEN. THIS NUMBER DECREASED NON-SIGNIFICANTLY ON DILUTION BUT SIGNIFICANTLY (P LOWER THAN 0.01) ON FREEZING AND THAWING. ON FREEZING AND THAWING, PERCENTAGE OF NORMAL MITOCHONDRIA DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY (P LOWER THAN 0.05). THE 4 DILUENTS USED FOR FREEZING OF BUFFALO SEMEN HAD NON-SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN RELATION TO SPERM STRUCTURE.
