Venerealis from diluted buffalo semen stored for 3 days at 5°C as well as their effect on sperm motility and percentage of spermatozoa with intact acrosomes. Semen was experimently infected with three strains of C. fetus subsp. Venerealis before extend in two different diluents ( egg yolk citrate and trilady Idiluents). Our result revealed that group 1 And group 2 antibiotics had has the ability to eliminate C.fetus subsp.venerealis from diluents (€88 aubsp Venerealis from diluted semen without any deleterious effect on spermatozoa with intact acrosome.
