The most common of evaluating semen in the field is by evaluating sperm motility although a combination of parameters of sperm quality may be a better indicator of fertility (1). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between 56-day non-return rate (NRR) and the quality of frozen thawed bull semen. Method: From 24 bulls, semen samples frozen in Andromed extender (Minitűb, Tiefenbach, Germany) were available for analysis. Field fertility data were available from these bull based on the 56 day NRR from 40,185 artificial inseminations, indexed to account for factors such as inseminator, farm, area, age of female (2). The straws were thawed in water (37ºC) for 12 sec. Aliquots from one straw were used for the following evaluations: Flow cytometric determination of membrane integrity, chromatin integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and protein tyrosine phospholyration. Correlations between 56-day NRR and the sperm quality were analysed using the statistical software in the Excel package (Version 2010, Microsoft Corporation, Redmond, WA, USA). The 56-day NRR was positively correlated with membrane integrity for living sperm(r=0.4760 P<0.05) and negatively correlated with dead sperm (r=-0.5307 P<0.05),negatively correlated with %DNA fragmentation index (r=-0.5194 P<0.05) and Mean_DNA fragmentation index (r=-0.5210 P<0.05). There were no significant correlations for the remaining parameters. Conclusion: The results suggest sperm viability and chromatin integrity may be useful for the prediction of field fertility.
