Abstract

Quality semen production remains the main aim of semen processing laboratories. The bacteria most responsible for semen contamination originate from the preputial cavity and urinary tract of bucks that find their way through natural mating or artificially by semen collection. The main aim of the study is to determine the bacterial load in the Preputial cavity of Black Bengal Bucks before and after washing with 0.02% KMnO4. There was a significant decrease (p
